Wayside cross 135m north west of The Cockpit in Boconnoc Park is a medieval stone cross situated within the estate landscape of Boconnoc in Cornwall. The monument consists of a cross head mounted upon a shaft, typical of wayside crosses erected during the medieval period to mark routes, define boundaries, or serve as focal points for devotion in the landscape. Such crosses functioned as significant features of the medieval religious and social geography of Cornwall, often associated with settlements and lines of travel. The cross's survival within Boconnoc Park demonstrates the persistence of medieval monuments within privately managed estates and their integration into the designed landscapes of later centuries.
