The base of a medieval wayside cross almost in its original position. Most 1840s maps indicate the location is definitely here (contrary to local legend) and some show it in the middle of the triangle where the footpaths and bridleways meet, suggesting this was a Pilgrim Route. What is now Dursley Cross House once served as the Cross Inn. Some maps refer to the locale as "Durse Ley's Cross". Presumably on the same route to Gloucester Cathedral as the cross in Huntley (Image) about 1.6 miles to the East.
