'Brokencrosse' is marked on a late 16th century map of Plymouth Leat as standing between the road (to Tavistock) across Roborough Down, and the leat. It is possible that the site of the cross is now occupied by a rough tapering block of Roborough Down stone, the top of which is fashioned into a letter "B" cut in relief.
This stone is a boundary-mark of the parishes of Bickleigh and Buckland Monachorum, and is situated near the southern extremity of Roborough Down, just to the east of the main road, nearly opposite the Buckland turning.
