St Buryan Churchyard Cross

The churchyard Cross head is considered to be 10th Century, contemporary with King Athelstan. The steps upon which it stands of much later period(s). The original Cross would have likely resembled the similar Cross at Sancreed Church (See Reference / Link above).

The Sancreed churchyard crosses have been documented elsewhere in this Blog at: http://awalkamongstthestones.blogspot.co.uk/2008/02/stones-circles-crosses-quoits-and-holy.html
