Monument record MDO611 - Medieval cross, Burton Bradstock

Remains of a cross, the shaft of which is broken off. <1>

There is no cross in the churchyard, and I have found no believe that this information used by HUTCHINS is false, and was perhaps supplied by the local incumbent of the time. <3>

[SY 48878950] No evidence of this cross, or its former existence, was obtained during field investigation in the area. <4>
