Knightlow Cross is a medieval cross and mound located in Warwickshire, situated near Stretton-on-Fosse. The monument comprises both an upstanding stone cross and an associated earthwork mound, which together form a significant local landmark of medieval date. The site has historical associations with the Knightlow Hundred, an administrative division of the medieval period, and the cross likely served functions relating to local governance, justice, or assembly. The precise dating and original purpose of the mound remain subjects of archaeological interest, though both elements reflect the medieval administrative and ceremonial importance of the location within the wider landscape of Warwickshire.
