Incised Ornament 



The simplest forms of incised work in Cornwall consist of straight lines, zig-zags, curved 

 lines, rude scroll-work, and the like ; most of which are roughly executed. Of all the 

 different devices which are employed to decorate a surface, the most common, and at the same 

 time most curious, consists of a number of little conical holes or dots, which we believe are not 

 found out of the county. They are placed either in horizontal or diagonal rows, or indis- 

 criminately distributed over the surface, but are always close together, and as a simple method 

 of ornamentation are very effective. Three crosses are entirely decorated with them, viz. : in 

 the Library garden at Penzance, on Connor Down, Gwinear, and the three-holed cross on 

 Perran Sands, Perranzabuloe. In the first and last cases they are arranged in fairly regular 

 rows in panels, while in the other they are best described as being placed ' anyhow,' similar to 

 those on the right side of one of the crosses in Lanivet churchyard, seen on Plate XIV. In 

 addition to their local decoration, they all possess the unique Cornish feature of projections at 

 the neck.

 Deviock ; Dennis, St. In churchyard ; Lanivet In churchyard, No. I (Plate XIV) ; Lanteglos

Plate XIV is perhaps the best example of its type.
