Sunday, 30th June 2002

Standing to the east of a very ruined church at the rear of an old farmhouse, this cross id worn and broken, but still very attractively carved.

The majority of the cross is given over to some outstanding knotwork but there are two scriptural panels on the west face. These are Adam and Eve, a griffin and the crucifixion on the head. The cross stands a little over 3m tall.
