The Early Christian memorial stone and wayside cross in Cardinham churchyard is a scheduled ancient monument situated approximately ten metres east of the parish church. Dating to the Early Christian period, the monument represents an important example of commemorative stonework from the early medieval tradition of southwest England. The stone bears the characteristics typical of Early Christian memorial markers of Cornwall, reflecting both the religious practices and stone-working traditions of the period. As a wayside cross, it would have served both as a marker of sacred space within the churchyard and as a focal point for devotional practice among the local community.
