Croix-Moligneaux (French pronunciation: [kʁwa mɔliɲo]; Picard: Cro-Moligneu) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
[3] The commune is situated on the D937 road, 1.6 km from the banks of the river Somme, 17 kilometres (11 mi) west of Saint-Quentin.
[4] As part of the preparatory works more than one hundred archaeological sites were identified by some fifty archaeologists around Croix-Moligneaux.
These include a Roman road and numerous villas as well as a funerary monument from the Bronze Age.
The gallows was called by the Latin term of cruces which then translates into "cruci" (cross).
