Wayside cross in Egloshayle churchyard is a medieval stone cross of probable twelfth or thirteenth-century date. The monument stands within the churchyard approximately 0.16 metres west of the church porch and represents a type of devotional marker common to Cornish ecclesiastical sites. The cross exhibits the characteristic form of a wheeled or Celtic cross, though its present condition reflects the weathering inherent to its long exposure. Such crosses served both liturgical and practical functions within the sacred precincts of the parish church, marking processional routes and defining the sanctified space of the churchyard.
