Maiden Cross Marker Stone The history of the Maiden Cross appears to be that of one of a series of way markers along the route of the Long Causeway. This crudely inscribed stone appears to just mark the site of a missing cross and has no Historic England listing unlike Stump Cross and Mount Cross.

Old Wayside Cross beside the Long Causeway Maiden Cross, a Wayside Cross in the form of a rectangular stone inscribed with a cross pattée above the words MAIDEN / CROSS. Set in front of a walled-up gateway on the southwest side of the Long Causeway opposite a car park. Cliviger parish. In 2007 it was photographed set in a gateway at the joining of walls. The gateway was walled up in September 2020, obscuring the face of the stone, but at the request of the parish council it was removed and placed on view in front of the wall in October 2020. The top of the stone had unfortunately been cut down and the inscribed cross had been cut through. In 2022 it was recut by Cliviger Parish Council and put back in situ.
