Hendra Cross

A stone wayside cross was found at Hendra Farm, Menheniot in the early 1960s. It had been buried upside down in the ground to form a gatepost. In 1991 the two separate pieces of the cross were repaired and erected on a new base near Hendra farmhouse.^[11]

Another cross sometimes known as Hendra Cross is at a crossroads near Bossiney.^[12]
