The cross has BM/C/1331 carved on it. I don't think the BM refers to a benchmark, but maybe Brough Market???? The 1331 may refer to the year when Robert Lord Clifford obtained a royal charter from Edward III. for a weekly market to be held at Brough on Thursdays, with an annual fair, to continue four days, and to commence two days before the feast of St. Matthew.
