Ancient cross socket stone fitted with a new granite cross in 1955.
Site visit 30th July 1986. The square chamfered cross base with its modern cross stands in the small square at the foot of Newton Hill. It is rather worn, crudely chamfered, and measures 1.0m by 0.95m and 0.5m thick; the edges of the socket hole are hidden under a thick spread of concrete and the tarmacadam road surface is gradually building up against the uphill side of the stone. The modern cross is 2.1m tall and 0.3m square at its base.
