High Cross is a hamlet in south Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated one mile east of Constantine village and approximately four miles (6 km) southwest of Falmouth.[1]
High Cross is in the civil parish of Constantine, Cornwall. In 1993 a mediaeval stone cross was found built into a collapsing Cornish hedge at the junction of the road from Constantine to Penryn and the road from Mawnan Smith.[2] The cross was re-erected nearby, at the crossroad, in April 2000.[3]
