Crowlas Cross is a wayside cross situated in the parish of Madron in west Cornwall, approximately 230 metres north-east of Lower Tregender. The monument dates from the medieval period, likely erected between the 13th and 15th centuries, and represents a common form of waymarker that would have guided travellers and pilgrims through the Cornish landscape. The cross survives as a stone structure typical of Cornish wayside crosses, featuring a shaft mounted upon a base, though like many such monuments it has experienced weathering and partial damage over the centuries. Such crosses served practical functions as directional markers along important routes whilst also carrying religious significance in the predominantly Christian medieval society of Cornwall.
