Summary
A quarter of a mile to the West of the Ringhole Copse cross (SX 69 SE 4) a footpath joins the road from the NE. This lane had once been gated and closed, one of the gateposts being octagonal and tapering. The top is rough as though broken off. This is probably the remains of a wayside cross.
