Overview

Guidestone with capstone dating from the early-C18 standing in its original location, close to a later listed milestone (67784). The stone includes a 1.83m high ovoid granite pillar supporting a 0.20m thick capstone whose four faces are each deeply incised in Roman capitals with the name of a Cornish place. One face is inscribed "LISKD" for Liskeard, another inscribed "CAMELFO" has been truncated by damage to a corner and would have originally read Camelford. Another which now reads "TUDY" would have originally read ST TUDY. The final face reads "BODMIN". Read the official list entry to find out more.
