The cross or what remains of it now stands some distance away from the present day track on open moorland. In fact when I first went looking for this about 2011 with only a six figure grid ref. because its quite small and the heather was high, I missed it. An ancient route known as the Via Magna (Great Road) used to run beside the cross which acted as a waymarker. Its original height was 6ft 5 inches , now it is in pieces with part of the original shaft stuck into the medieval base and the ancient wheelhead with the carving of the Maltese cross balanced on top
