Fenny Castle cross
Although the cross is no longer in complete form, the plinth and some parts of the upper section are evident. The cross is believed to be a fourteenth century roadside example and one of few left in the country. Nearby was a well, which may be associated with the cross. Grade II listed monument.

Remains of cross, Castle
The base of a medieval (C14) wayside cross beside Castle Lane. "Traditionally it is associated with a nearby well, and the remains of the wellhead may be seen in the undergrowth. It appears to be a water cross which are rare in Somerset" http://webapp1.somerset.gov.uk/her/details.asp?prn=24232 .
