Bennett's Cross is a wayside cross located on the south side of the B3212 road, approximately 900 metres north-east of the Warren House Inn on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument is a medieval granite cross, representative of the waymarkers that once guided travellers across the moor. As with many Dartmoor crosses, its exact dating remains difficult to establish with precision, though it is likely to belong to the medieval period. The cross survives as a significant example of Dartmoor's medieval infrastructure and forms part of the broader network of monumental wayside markers scattered across the moorland landscape.
