It is located by the roadside near to the private Chapel of San Miguel. It features a prismatic base, resting on a quadrangular step, with a heavily eroded and illegible inscription engraved on the chamfered part of the upper edges. The plain cylindrical shaft rises from a rectangular base and ends in a capital decorated with small winged angel heads on each of its sides. On the terminating cross, the obverse shows the Crucified Christ, while the reverse depicts an image of the Pietà.
