![]() O/S Grid Ref: SX/82819/89418 Longitude/Latitude (Degrees+/-): -3.66039/50.69256 Map location: Click here to view map. Purpose: Waymarker to the Church at Dunsford. Size: The shaft is 3 feet 8 inches (1.12 metres) tall, 11 inches (0.28 metres) wide and 9 inches (0.23 metres) deep. The top of the arms were 9 inches (0.23 metres) below the top of the cross and the arms were 11 inches (0.28 metres) deep. Information: All that remains of this wayside cross appears to be the shaft which has been re-erected in the ground with the arms broken off. No sign of a socket stone can be found at or around the cross. There is a groove in the roadside face of the cross, which looks to have been made when one of the arms was broken away from the cross. A chamfer on all four edges of the shaft can be detected which, it has been suggested, dates the cross as possibly thirteenth century.
