Medieval wayside cross base is a stone monument located 140 metres south of Trevemper Farm in Cornwall, England. The structure consists of a stone base that once supported a wayside cross, a common feature of medieval roads and boundaries throughout Devon and Cornwall. Such crosses served practical purposes as waymarkers for travellers and pilgrims, whilst also functioning as expressions of Christian devotion and, in many cases, marking significant boundaries or stopping points in the medieval landscape. The monument dates to the medieval period, reflecting the widespread construction of such markers across south-western England during the later Middle Ages.
