Ulfkill cross base is a fragmentary stone monument located on Malham Moor in North Yorkshire. The cross base consists of a socketed stone platform that formerly supported a high cross, typical of medieval Christian monuments found across northern England. Dating to the medieval period, likely between the tenth and twelfth centuries, such crosses served as waymarkers, preaching points, or boundary markers within monastic or parochial territories. The surviving socket stone represents the lower structural element of what would have been a substantial upright cross, its preservation demonstrating the enduring quality of worked stone in the Pennine landscape.
