The Medieval cross base located 780 metres south west of Arkwright Plantation in Derbyshire is a scheduled ancient monument representing a category of wayside crosses that proliferated across the English landscape during the medieval period. The monument consists of a stone base structure that would originally have supported a cross shaft, a form typical of crosses erected from the twelfth century onwards, often serving functions related to trade routes, parish boundaries, or local gathering points. Such crosses frequently underwent reconstruction and repair across successive centuries, and their bases often survive when upper components have been lost or removed. The survival of this base provides evidence of the medieval organisation of the landscape and settlement patterns in this region of Derbyshire.
