The monument consists of a substantial stone foundation or plinth that once supported a complete cross shaft and head, typical of the ecclesiastical monuments that marked significant sites within Welsh churchyards from the medieval period onwards. The cross-base exhibits the characteristic squared stone construction common to Welsh religious monuments, serving both ritual and funerary functions within the sacred space of the churchyard.
