The remains of a standing cross survive in the churchyard of St Peter’s Church to the south east of the south porch. Now a CCT church.
There is a plain, rectangular socket stone 0.76m N-S by 0.84m E-W with about 0.3m above ground (rather less than the 0.45m recorded by Davies in 1915). It has a slight chamfer around its upper edge.
A portion of shaft survives in the socket. It is 0.3m square at the base chamfered to octagonal and is 0.84m tall. The top has been cut square, with no signs of fixings.
