Oxenham Cross

Oxenham Cross is a wayside cross of medieval origin, standing in the moorland landscape of the Oxenham valley. Like many such crosses scattered across Dartmoor, it probably served as a waymark for travellers crossing the high ground, or as a boundary marker for land and parishes. The cross stands as a quiet reminder of the routes and divisions that shaped life on the moor in the medieval period and beyond.

Visitors will find a modest stone monument in open moorland. The site offers a sense of the ancient pathways and medieval infrastructure that connected communities across Dartmoor, and rewards those who seek it out with views across the surrounding landscape.
