(f) With the figure of our Lord inched Camborne Trevu, No. 2 (fig. 88) ; Flushing In churchyard ; Sennen Trevilley. 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. (g) On Wheel Crosses Altarnun Tresmeake Bridge ; Boconnoc In Boconnoc Park ; Cardinham Higher Deviock ; Dennis, St. In churchyard ; Lanivet In churchyard, No. I (Plate XIV) ; Lanteglos by Camelford Trevia, No. 2 ; Levan, St. In churchyard No. 2 ; Tywardreath Menabilly. Plate XIV is perhaps the best example of its type. (h) On Wheel Crosses with Projections at the Neck Camborne In churchyard ; Cleer, St. On St. Cleer Common ; Eastbourne* (Sussex) In Manor House grounds ; Gwinear On Connor Down ; Penzance In Library garden. A sixth example, outside the Institute at Camborne, has the figure of our Lord in relief upon it. (i) On a Three-holed Cross, with Projections at the Neck Perranzabuloe On Perran Sands. (j) On a Four-holed Cross, with Projections at the Neck Bodrnin Carminnow Cross. (k) On a Latin Cross Madron Boscathnoe. 2.
