Nancor Cross is a Scheduled Monument (as from March 1974). These were part of a network of Christian Crosses erected between the 9th to 15th Century as a reminder of the Christian Churches in the area and to act as a way marker on regularly travelled routes. These tend to be concentrated in Cornwall and Dartmoor but with an estimated 350 across the country in total.
