Dunster Butter Cross is managed by the National Trust. The cross comprises a shaft with a plinth and socket stone forming the base. The octagonal base and polygonal shaft have survived, but the head of the cross has been lost. It stands on a small area of raised ground. The socket stone is wide and high.
