Fulford Cross is a medieval wayside cross located approximately two hundred metres south-west of the barracks at Fulford in Yorkshire. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents a type of roadside marker that would have served both practical and spiritual functions within the medieval landscape, potentially indicating a significant route or marking a place of local importance. The cross survives as a substantial stone structure, though like many examples of its kind it may have experienced damage and restoration over the centuries. Such crosses were characteristic features of the English medieval countryside and contributed to the networks of landmarks that organised movement and worship across the region.
