St. Mary's Churchyard Cross, Marshfield is a medieval stone cross base located within the churchyard of St. Mary's Church in Marshfield, Monmouthshire. The monument comprises a substantial stone base that would originally have supported a cross shaft, typical of the decorated crosses that stood in parish churchyards throughout Wales during the medieval period. Such crosses served important functions in religious and community life, marking sacred space and serving as gathering points for processions and parish ceremonies. The survival of the base at Marshfield demonstrates the enduring significance of these monumental markers in the religious landscape of medieval Welsh parishes.
