The Medieval wayside cross base located 550 metres west-northwest of Lanhadron Farm is a stone monument of the medieval period that served as a marker along a travelled route in Cornwall. The surviving element comprises the base or socket stone of what was originally a complete wayside cross, a common feature of the medieval landscape that functioned both as a directional aid and religious monument for travellers. Such crosses typically marked important pathways, parish boundaries, or locations of devotional significance throughout medieval England and Wales. The structure's survival as a fragmentary base represents a typical pattern of attrition among these monuments, many of which lost their upper shaft sections through deliberate demolition during the Reformation or through simple weathering and decay over centuries.
