Crows-an-wra is a medieval wayside cross and turnpike milestone located in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises a stone cross that served both as a wayside marker in the medieval period and was later adapted for use as a turnpike milestone during the eighteenth-century improvement of transport routes. The site reflects the layered history of Cornish landscape infrastructure, with its dual function demonstrating how earlier monuments were repurposed to support the developing road network of the Georgian era. The cross remains an important record of both medieval pilgrimage and commercial routes and the later rationalisation of regional communications.
