Castle Goff Stone and Valley Truckle Cross is a medieval wayside cross located in the churchyard of St Julitta's Church in Cornwall. The monument comprises two stone crosses of probable medieval date, representing examples of the wayside and churchyard cross tradition that was prevalent throughout Cornwall and the wider southwest of England during the medieval period. Such crosses served both spiritual and practical functions within parish communities, often marking boundaries or serving as gathering points. The stones demonstrate the continued religious significance of the landscape in medieval Cornwall, where the placement of crosses reflected the organisation of parochial territories and devotional practices.
