The standing cross 80m south of St Mary's Church is a medieval wayside cross of uncertain date, likely erected during the later medieval period. The monument survives as a stone cross shaft mounted on a stepped base, a form typical of parish crosses that served both devotional and practical functions within medieval communities. Such crosses commonly marked significant locations within settlements or along routes of pilgrimage and trade, and frequently underwent reconstruction or repair across centuries. The precise dating and original form of this particular cross remain subjects for further investigation, though its survival and listing reflect its importance to the archaeological record of medieval Somerset.
