Purpose: One of a number of crosses that marks the route of the Monks’ Path. This is the ancient name given to the track that links the Buckfast Abbey with those at Tavistock and Buckland. This path takes a more northerly route than the more commonly known Abbots’ Way.

Size: 6 feet (1.85 metres) tall. 2 feet 2 inches (0.65 metres) across the arms

Information: In the 17^th Century, this cross was removed from its site by Mr Coaker, of Sherburton, where he set it up in the courtyard of his farm. Upon its discovery, the Duchy ordered him to return it to its site, which he did but left it flat on the ground.

The cross was re-erected by the Dartmoor Preservation Society in 1885 but, unusually, it has been sited so that the arms are in line with the path instead of across it.
