A Celtic stone cross dating back to the 10th or 11th century. The stone includes an inscription IRBICI, which means “the stone of Irbic”, but nothing is known of this person or exactly why the cross was erected. The cross has been mutilated at the top but otherwise is complete. The monument is made of Sutton stone and measures 9 foot 9 inches by 2 foot 3 inches. Renovation work was carried out on the cross in July 2013. A replica can be seen at the National Museum of Wales.
