Wayside cross in Egloshayle churchyard is a medieval stone cross of uncertain date, situated approximately 0.46 metres east of the church porch. The monument survives as a fragmentary cross, likely erected as a wayside or churchyard marker during the medieval period, though its exact dating remains difficult to establish without detailed analysis. Such crosses were common features in Cornish parishes during the later medieval centuries and often served religious and practical functions within the ecclesiastical landscape. The cross's surviving remains contribute to the archaeological record of religious monuments within the parish of Egloshayle and reflect broader patterns of medieval devotional and communal practice in Cornwall.
