Notes: the original cross stands in a walled emplacement at the road-side near the entrance to Carew Castle. The original position of the stone is not known, but Arch.Camb.(1939) states, regarding the stone's original position, that "it formerly stood at the edge of the road, presumably in or near its original position, upon a pile of masonry which appears to have been erected about the year 1822 for the purpose of supporting it"
