Remains of roadside cross at NGR ST 0435 4174

(formerly listed at Monks Path, Old Cleeve)

22.5.69

II*
Remains of roadside cross. C14. Red sandstone. Square socket with broached corners with remains of shaft eroded to a mere mound about 250 mm high and the whole almost completely obscured by vegetation at time of survey (November 1983).

This cross stands beside what was once the main roadway between Cleeve Abbey (qv) and Chapel Cleeve (qv) but the cobbled footway referred to in the previous list was not visible at the time of survey.

The extent of the so-called Monk's Path is described in Proceedings of the West Somerset Industrial Archaeological Society, 1983. (Pooley, Old Crosses of Somerset, 1877).
