Ancient Cross in Shropshire

Historic England describes this cross thus:
'The monument includes a standing stone cross in the churchyard at Quatt, located c.9m south of the church. The cross includes a medieval socket stone and shaft, surmounted by a post-medieval sundial. The grey sandstone socket stone is situated on an earthen mound, which is roughly square in plan and is c.3m in width and c.0.4m high. The socket stone is also square in plan and measures 0.75m in width at the base. It has chamfered angles above stops, and rises 0.6m to an octagonal top which has a lipped rim. The shaft is octagonal in section and measures 0.33m in diameter at the base. It rises 0.8m and also has a lipped rim. The shaft is surmounted by the remains of a bronze sundial'. No Sundial is apparent from the angle I have taken this.
