This is a granite celtic cross and shows the names of victims of the two world wars. The last two names are teenagers Myrtle Wilkinson and Peggy Harland. They were friends who went into Eastbourne to see a friend on 26th September 1940. They were caught in an air-raid and both were killed.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Up until the early 1990s this was the A27 until the Pevensey By-Pass was built effectively relegating this road to a backwater used primarily for access to Stone Cross and Westham. The houses catching the late evening sun on the left are Woodville and Holly Cottage respectively. A local story explains that the name of the road was due to a nearby gallows in Westham where the unfortunate occupants' chains would rattle in the wind.
