Buckland Court:- Type A cross. Built into the wall of the lawn, between the entrance door and the higher gate, a very roughly fashioned cross of rectangular section, much damaged. It is much damaged, one arm projects slightly, the other is hidden in the wall. A rectangular hole cut in the face may indicate former use as a gate-post.

Site visit 2nd December 1982. The stone looks much like a piece of an old gatepost.

Buckland Court cross at SX721731. A cross is built into the high wall of Buckland Court, Buckland-in-the-Moor, the shaft and one arm of this cross is built into the wall in such a way that one shoulder protrudes, this is a very crude cross and is badly damaged, one arm being missing. A square hole has been cut in the shaft which gives the impression that it has been used as a gatepost at some time. It is not known where the cross came from.
Cross height 1.07 metres, span 0.30 metres.
