This monument includes the socket stone of a churchyard cross 10 metres south-west of Zeal Monachorum church porch. It is one of two standing crosses in the churchyard, the other being situated some 6 metres to the north east. The socket stone lies beside a path near the south gate; it is 0.49 metres high and 0.83 metres square at the base. It is octagonal above with a chamfered top edge and the socket hole is 0.27 metres square by 0.16 metres deep. The wall is excluded from the scheduling where it falls within the cross's protective margin, although the ground beneath it is included.
