INSCRIBED STONES AND ANCIENT CROSSES OF DEVON. 147 
COMPTON CROSS. 
On the Tavistock road, two miles out of Plymouth, stands a 
sixteenth-century cross, the whole but the head being entombed by 
the elevation of the road and sideway. It stands between two 
stones, and marks the boundary between the tithing of Compton 
Gifford and that of Weston Peverel. 
It stands just opposite to the cross-road leading to Pennycross 
church.
