Details of this obelisk, erected in 1989, with a sundial and stone ball, are at http://www.pmsa.org.uk/pmsa-database/14343/ . This mentions a copper cross on the summit, which seems to have vanished, and says that the work replaces "an old market cross, possibly the old Pig Cross, that used to stand near the present situation".
