'
Directly outside the Town Hall and on the site of a former Roman forum, stands Carlisle Market Cross, a scheduled ancient monument erected in 1682.
The monument is formed in sandstone and consists of four courses of circular segmented steps leading up to a plinth course and base block consisting of four side panels which are likely to posses some form of spine or core for stability, which is then topped with a low level cornice. Above this is circular base stone and single column shaft with enthesis that is capped with an ionic form of capital and sun dial above with a carved lion bearing the city’s charter. '
