Crossroads used to be considered as enchanted places, where strange, magical events might take place. Crosses would be erected to sanctify the spot, ensuring safe passage for travellers.

Compston's Cross was moved here by Alderman Samuel Compston in 1902. The high ground makes for marvellous walking, with excellent views to Clowbridge Reservoir, Nutshaw Hill and Pendle Hill.

The Comptons Cross sits at the meeting point of many tracks and on the Rossendale Way, a 46 mile circular route around the Rossendale valley.

The small sacred monument, listed here in the komoot system under the name "Stone Cross Monument," is called "Compston's Cross." It has a base of three tapered brick circles and has stood at this location for more than 120 years. It is likely of older origin, as the stone cross is said to have been relocated here – about halfway between Clough Bottom Reservoir and Clowbridge Reservoir – at the beginning of the 20th century.
