Wayside cross at Bulland Cross is a medieval standing cross located in Devon, England. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents the type of wayside cross that once marked routes and served as focal points for travellers and local communities throughout southwest England. The cross survives as a substantial stone structure, retaining evidence of its original form despite the weathering characteristic of monuments exposed to the elements over several centuries. Such crosses functioned both as practical waymarkers and as expressions of religious devotion, their placement along roads and at boundaries reflecting the medieval landscape's integration of spiritual and practical concerns.
