Trevenning Cross is a post-medieval wayside cross and guide post located approximately 700 metres south-west of Trevenning village in Cornwall. The monument consists of a stone cross shaft mounted upon a base, serving the dual function typical of such structures in early modern rural Cornwall of marking both a route waypoint and a focal point for local settlement. The guide post element indicates its practical role in directing travellers through the landscape during the post-medieval period, when such markers became increasingly common features of Cornish highways. The site is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under the National Heritage List for England.
