Wayside cross on Treloy Hill is a medieval stone cross situated in the parish of Gwinear in west Cornwall. The monument survives as a substantial upright stone cross that dates to the medieval period, likely erected between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries as part of the network of wayside markers that characterised the Cornish landscape. Such crosses typically served multiple functions within rural communities, functioning as waymarkers for travellers and pilgrims whilst also holding religious significance. The cross's position on Treloy Hill reflects the importance of established routeways across the exposed landscape of west Cornwall during the Middle Ages and early modern period.
