The monument consists of a substantial stone base that would have supported a now-lost cross shaft, typical of the type of wayside and churchyard crosses that proliferated throughout medieval Wales from the thirteenth century onwards. Such crosses served important religious and ritual functions within their communities, marking sacred spaces and serving as focal points for worship and procession.
