This Stump Cross is an old wayside marker at the crossing where two medieval routes met: Stonegate and Leavergate; though the tracks and paths today diverge slightly from those original medieval ones.

Stump Cross is likely an iron or bronze age standing stone, sometimes described as a menhir and consistent with other ancient monuments in the area. These were variously used as boundary markers, waymarkers or served as ceremonial sites. One of several stump crosses on the moors and the name is thought to derive from a later Christian reinterpretation, where prehistoric stones were sometimes rebranded as “crosses” to try and eradicate pagan associations.
