Medieval wayside cross base on Creed Hill is a fragmentary stone monument located approximately four hundred metres south of Grampound in Cornwall. The structure comprises the base and lower shaft of a wayside cross, a common feature of the medieval landscape that served both as a marker for travellers and as a focus for devotional practice. The monument dates to the medieval period, though its exact construction date within this era remains unspecified in the surviving record. Wayside crosses of this type were typically positioned at prominent locations along routes and parish boundaries, and their survival, often in fragmentary form as here, provides evidence of the spiritual and practical infrastructure of medieval rural communities.
