Roisia's Cross, Medieval stone cross base in Royston, Great Britain.
The Royse Stone, a glacial erratic block with a square mortise hole, marks the location of the original medieval Roisia's Cross structure.
Eudo Dapifer, steward to William the Conqueror, owned the land where Roisia's Cross stood at the intersection of Ermine Street and Icknield Way.
The stone cross base represents a meeting point of ancient Roman and medieval English travel routes through the Hertfordshire countryside.
Visitors can locate the historic stone base at the southeastern angle of the crossroads within the parish of Barkway in Hertfordshire.
The eighteenth-century antiquarian Reverend William Stukeley documented the stone's physical features, confirming its function as a foundation for a vertical cross.
