The wayside cross-base located three hundred metres north west of the Church of St Newlina is a medieval stone monument surviving in fragmentary form. The structure comprises a substantial stone base, typical of Cornish wayside crosses, which would originally have supported a shaft and head now lost to time. Dating to the medieval period, such crosses served as markers along routes of religious and practical significance in the Cornish landscape. The monument remains archaeologically important as evidence of the cross-marked topography that characterised medieval Cornwall, though its precise original function—whether processional, commemorative, or directional—cannot be determined with certainty from surviving remains alone.
