Wayside cross in the grounds of Higher Lank Farm is a medieval stone cross, likely dating from the later Middle Ages. The monument stands approximately ten metres south of the farmhouse and represents a category of wayside crosses that were common features of the Cornish landscape, often marking routes, boundaries, or points of devotional significance. Its survival in a farm setting demonstrates the persistence of medieval religious monuments within active agricultural land, though its exact original function and precise dating await further scholarly investigation.
