The monument includes a free-standing stone cross situated in the angle of the junction of two roads; to Luscombe and Harberton. It stands on partly grassed open ground, probably in its original position and may date from the 15th century. The cross is Listed Grade II. The cross comprises a heavy octagonal base of granite, surmounted by a granite shaft whose upper half was replaced in 1895. The base, which is 0.75m high, is partly buried in the turf which is raised here in a low mound. It measures 1.13m across its flat sides, and has a heavily chamfered upper part, below a rough roll moulding. Above this, the top is slightly convex with the shaft socketed in and set with lead. The shaft, of rectangular section, has oblique chamfers on all four corners, with pyramid stops to the base. The medieval shaft survives to 0.85m high and tapers in width from 0.27m at the base to 0.32m at its top and in thickness from 0.26m to 0.23m. Heavy directional letters have been dressed onto all four flat sides: T - Totnes (north side), D - Dartmouth (east), K - Kingsbridge (south), and B - Brent (west). Beneath these some smaller letters, probably initials, are crudely incised. In 1895, a new upper shaft and Celtic wheel head, 1.2m higher than the original cross, was added with additional Roman numerals for the distances involved. These do not match up, and it is obvious that the cross head was put on the wrong way round. The original head could have been lost during the Reformation in the 16th century. The letters are typical of granite direction posts of the 17th century in this area. The modern road surface is excluded from the scheduling where it falls within the 2m protective margin of the cross, although the ground beneath it is included.

This is SUCH an amazing place with exceptional lunches, cakes and coffee. There's lots of seating inside, a garden out back and they're happy for bikes to be brought in and leant against the walls. There were about 9 bikes in there when I went, including mine. They serve plant based, often locally sourced food with a sustainable ethos.
