In addition to the sculptured crosses just given, there are 

 two inscribed altar slabs very similar to each other, with square 

 key pattern borders and incised crosses within. They are both 

 in the parish of Camborne, one is preserved under the Com- 

 munion table in St. Martin's Church, 5 and the other is at 

 Pendarves; the latter was converted into the base for a sundial, 

 a gnomon being inserted in it by the owner. 



There is also a beautiful recumbent, or coped tomb in 

 Lanivet churchyard, outside the south aisle, which is covered 

 with key pattern ornament on the sides and top, the ends are 

 decorated with interlaced work. These additional stones are not 

 actually crosses, but they must not be omitted on that account, as 

 they are only monuments of a different description, decorated 

 with the same kind of ornament as the crosses. 



Two of the foregoing examples contained in the list will 

 now be described.
