Bettws Newydd Churchyard Cross-Base is a medieval stone cross-base located in the churchyard at Bettws Newydd in Wales. The monument consists of the surviving base or socket stone of what would originally have been a complete churchyard cross, a common feature in medieval Welsh parishes serving both ritual and commemorative functions. Dating to the medieval period, the cross-base represents the remains of a structure that would have stood as a focal point for religious observance and community gathering within the churchyard. The survival of the base, though the superstructure has been lost, remains evidence of the religious significance of this location and the craftsmanship of medieval stone working in Wales.
