4/12 Anthorn Cross
II
Cross. Probably medieval. Red sandstone. Rough, cross-shaped stone set into
the ground, too weathered to determine its original shape. It has been
suggested that this marks the site of a battle with the Scots, but as there was
a similar cross, Fishers' Cross, at Port Carlisle, this suggests that these were
coastal crosses erected to guide fishermen along an otherwise featureless and
flat coastline.
