Stumpy Cross, also known as Stump Cross, stands slightly set back on a hedge at a crossroads in Sheviock parish, at the top of the Rame Peninsula in South-East Cornwall. It stands at 7.5 feet (2.3 metres) high and is 2.5 feet (0.75 metres) wide across the arms. The cross originally stood closer to the road, however was moved to its present position during road widening in 1943. It is believed that the cross may have marked the route to St Germans Priory.
