The churchyard cross is visible as an upright granite shaft with a round or `wheel' head. The cross measures 0.96m in overall height. The head is 0.85m wide and 0.28m thick. The head is fully pierced by four holes creating an equal limbed cross with widely expanded ends to the limbs, linked by an outer ring. The ends of the limbs extend slightly beyond the edge of the ring. The irregularly shaped holes have been worked from both faces. The cross is set on a rectangular stone base which is completely covered by a layer of turf. This churchyard cross was situated on the west side of the church, but was later moved to its present position opposite the south porch. It has been suggested that the cross head and shaft are part of the cross shaft and base in Padstow churchyard. In 1959 the cross was dated to the late 12th century. More recent studies of similar four holed crosses have dated them to the 10th century. The interlace decoration on the shaft suggest that this cross is also of 10th century date.
