A sandstone wayside cross located near the edge of Shackleton Moor. It comprises the separated halves of a massive tapering socle or cross base, each housing a rectangular section shaft. The bevelled tops of the shafts indicate that there have never been cross-heads. This suggests that the cross is probably of post-medieval date.
