Rey Cross is the remains of a stone cross at Stainmore. It is also known as Rere Cross or Rear Cross and is a Grade II* listed structure and a scheduled monument. It is located towards the western edge of County Durham, approximately 1 kilometre east of the border with Cumbria along the A66 road.
Believed to have been ten feet tall, a long-held local legend states it was the burial place of Eric Bloodaxe, Viking Ruler of Northumbria. However, Norman Davies posits that it was a "boundary stone . . . halfway between Penrith and Barnard Castle."
