The cross is also shown at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=73248835 . A very detailed description is at https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1015287 : "Both socket stone and shaft are probably of 14th century date ... The south face of the shaft is engraved down the east side with rounded Roman numerals, which were probably added in the 17th century when the existing head was added to the shaft". The road junction is at the north end of the main village street (ahead left). The other two roads are used by NCN442.
