A granite wayside Cross first mentioned as far back as 1240 was used on The Monks’ Path and the Abbots’ Way, both of which link Buckfast Abbey to Tavistock Abbey and Buckland Abbey. It was knocked down in 1846 and the shaft broken. It was restored in 1848.

In the vast landscape of Dartmoor (a name, incidentally, that avowed fans of English crime novels from the literature of this genre will recognize as a rather dark/spooky place), where prominent landmarks are largely lacking, the small sacred monuments erected many centuries ago impressively shape the landscape. The hard granite stone typical of the region, from which the cross was carved—with comparatively short branches that are little more than a suggestion—defenses wind and weather.

Also known as Siward's Cross, Nun's Cross is one of many granite stone crosses across Dartmoor. The cross sits at the junction of two major tracks; the Abbots’ Way and the Monks’ Path, which link abbeys at Buckfast with Tavistock and Buckland.
The cross stands close to Nun's Cross Farm, which can be seen from the junction.
Although the meaning behind its more common name is unknown, the word Siward is carved into the stone, which is thought to refer to the Saxon Earl Siward, who once was a landowner around Tavistock.
