There is no surviving cross at Butterwick, but written reports of a cross to the east of the church survive:

 Marrat (1814) states: On an eminence eastward of the church, there formerly stood a stone cross, of which no remains now exist; and:

Pishey Thompson (1856) states: A stone cross formerly stood upon an eminence, a short distance east from the church; some remains of it were visible about the close of the last century. These, together with the eminence on which they were placed, are now removed.
