Wayside cross in the grounds of Higher Lank Farm is a medieval stone cross situated approximately ten metres south of the farmhouse in Cornwall. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents the type of wayside marker crosses that once punctuated the Cornish landscape, serving as waymarkers, boundary stones, or places of devotion for travellers and local communities. The cross survives as a standing stone structure, though like many such monuments it has been subject to weathering and the passage of time. As a designated ancient monument, it remains an important testimony to medieval religious and social practice in rural Cornwall.
