Still located where it should be, to the west of the church, this plain faced cross is quite elegent. There is a large stone font, presumably from inside the church, at its base.

The 2.5m tall cross is decorated only down its sides with two vertical lines.

While looking at the church I took the opportunity to take a couple more pictures of the cross and record a GPS reading for it.
