A Scheduled Monument in Rievaulx, North Yorkshire

Remains of Griff Cross

Uploader's Comments

Photo taken in November 2011 shows the base of the cross which is all that remains. It appears to be the remnant of carved pillar as used in nearby Rievaulx Abbey. It was probably placed here to act as a waymarker by medieval monks
