Situated on a church path heading South West from Lanlivery, 1/2 miles South West from Roselath Farm.
An old granite cross discovered 1900. The base stone is in situ and marks the church path from the parish of Luxulyan (St Cyors Holy Well) to Lanlivery (St Brevita Holy Well).
The cross head is large, with a small portion of shaft still attached. The cross was refitted to the base with a cement joint some 20 years ago, as previously it had lay loose on the ground.
The cross itself is cut in relief and is an equal limbed cross with expanded edges. There is a small raised circle instead of a boss in the centre of the cross limbs.
