MONUMENTS WITH MISCELLANEOUS ORNAMENT (a) On Wheel Crosses At Washaway, Egloshayle (fig. 92) on both front and back ; and at Penwine St. Mabyn, on the back only, there is a fleur-de-lis on the head in place of a cross. At Trevean, St. Erth, the cross has on each side of the head a human head in relief, connected by a bold bead passing over the top of the cross, the chins of the heads being on a level with the neck of the cross. The cross at Trevalis, No. I, Stithians, has the figure of our Lord in relief, the feet resting on a boldly projecting heart. That at Trevalis, No. 2, has, beneath the figure, a beaded ring containing an incised cross. (b) On Wheel Crosses, with Projections at the Neck The cross in Mylor churchyard is by far the tallest in Cornwall, its total length being 1 7 feet 6 inches ; but unfortunately it has been sunk nearly 7 feet in the ground. On each of the projections at the neck is an incised circle. Just above the level of the neck is a boss surrounded by two concentric beads, forming the top of an incised panel. On the right side of the cross in Roche churchyard there are a series of horizontal beads, and on the left side is an incised sword, with dot ornament on front and back. On the back and right side of the cross in Merther Uny old churchyard there is a row of six short projecting beads ; on the former about 5 inches long from the neck downwards, and on the latter somewhat longer. On both front and back of the shaft is a boss surrounded by a bold bead, this being the only instance of bosses in this position. 4.

The well known ' Four-hole-Cross ' on Temple Moor shows two methods of decoration, /-i incised and Hiberno-Celtic. The letters -p -ry on the front are merely the initials of a land- owner, and an instance of the manner in which the Cornish monuments were mutilated. The crosses at St. Breage and St. Minver are only cross-heads with a small portion of the shaft attached, while that at St. Cleer, found as recently as the year 1904, is merely a fragment, with only two holes remaining. The cross at Tywardreath ! is similar to the two former, but has more of its shaft remaining ; it is much mutilated, and the only ornament now distinguish- able is a short piece of square key -pattern on either side of the shaft, with perhaps a triquetra knot on one arm. The cross in St. Breward cemetery is only a portion of a cross-head, having lost its lower limb and both adjoining parts of the ring. 1 Illustrated in the Cornish Mag. i (1898), 74. 438
