Castle Hill Cross is a wayside cross located in Devon, England. The monument dates to the medieval period, likely the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and stands as a example of the numerous stone crosses that marked routes and boundaries throughout south-western England during the Middle Ages. The cross comprises a shaft and head of local stone, characteristic of Devon's tradition of cross-building. Its location on what appears to be an established routeway reflects its probable function as a waymarker for travellers and as a focus for local community life.
