Medieval monastic wayside cross base is a stone monument of medieval date located in Yorkshire. The structure comprises the base of a cross that would have originally stood at a wayside location associated with monastic lands or jurisdiction, typical of features erected by religious communities during the medieval period. Such crosses served both practical and spiritual functions, marking monastic boundaries, pilgrimage routes, or points of devotional significance within the landscape. The surviving stone base represents one of the archaeological remains documenting the medieval monastic presence and organisation of the Yorkshire countryside.
