Cross Putty is a medieval wayside cross-base located approximately seventy metres south-east of Bosworgey Cottage in Cornwall. The monument consists of the stone base or plinth of a wayside cross, a common feature of the medieval landscape that served various functions including waymarking, assembly points, and sites of local significance. The cross dates to the medieval period, though the upper shaft and head have been lost, leaving only the base structure visible today. As a scheduled ancient monument, it represents evidence of the religious and social infrastructure that characterised medieval Cornish settlements and their surrounding territories.
