Aldborough Cross is a medieval market cross located in the village of Aldborough in North Yorkshire. The monument dates from the medieval period and served as a focal point for the commercial and civic life of the settlement. The cross comprises a stone shaft mounted on a stepped base, characteristic of market crosses erected in English market towns and villages during the medieval era. Such crosses functioned as gathering places for trade and community activities, and their presence indicates Aldborough's status as a planned settlement with market privileges during the medieval period.
