A cross, mentioned in the 1557 inquisition on the bounds of Brent Moor, was situated at Buckland Ford (SX 65966604), but is apparently no longer in existence.
(20/07/1977) No trace of a cross, or its remains, could be found in the vicinity of Buckland Ford.
It is suggested that a fragment of a cross found at Gisperdown may be a part of this cross.

The cross fragment found by owner of Gisperdown (sx66se/66) may be part of this cross, its dimensions are very similar to the Huntingdon Cross also of the same date.
