Stone cross SW of church
Devon
This is a scheduled monument, a stone cross that stands in open ground to the southwest of the local church. Such crosses are characteristic features of the Dartmoor landscape and wider Devon countryside, often marking boundaries, routes, or places of gathering and worship. The cross likely dates to the medieval period, though the exact age and original purpose are not precisely documented.
Today the cross remains in situ, a quiet landmark in the moorland setting. Its weathered stonework and isolated location offer a sense of continuity with centuries of local life and movement across Dartmoor. The site is accessible to walkers and those interested in the heritage of the parish and the wider moor.
