Ancient Cross in Cornwall Located beside the path leading up to St Symphorian's Church at Forrabury, this granite wheel head cross stands at 5.8ft tall and was previously used as a gate post.

Before being moved to its present location, the cross stood a little further away beside the road adjoining a field called 'Cross Park'. It is believed that this field was the original location of Forrabury Cross.
