Erected in 1867 as a memorial to Dean William Daniel Conybeare and designed by his son Henry Conybeare. It is modelled on the medieval churchyard crosses at Llangan and St. Donats. Dean Conybeare was Dean of Llandaff 1846-57, an important period for the restoration of the Cathedral.

Socket-stone with small buttresses to the corners, tall tapering shaft going from square to octagonal, carved cross-head. The cross-head carries reliefs of the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
