Cross base 30m south of St Merryn's Church is a fragmentary stone monument of medieval date located in the parish of St Merryn, Cornwall. The surviving element consists of a stone base that originally supported a cross shaft, typical of the wayside and churchyard crosses that were erected throughout medieval Cornwall, particularly during the later medieval period. Such monuments served both religious and practical functions within parish communities, marking significant locations and serving as meeting points or boundary markers. The base represents the remains of what would have been a complete stone cross, of which many examples survive in varying states of preservation across the county.
