SX2671 : Old Boundary Marker on Caradon Hill
taken 3 years ago, near to Minions, Cornwall, England
Old Boundary Marker on Caradon Hill
Estate Boundary Marker at the junction of the old Cornish Hedges that form part of the parish boundary of Linkinhorne and St Cleer, and the enclosed farmland to the east of Minions. Inscribed 3 RIL 1846 (vertically).
One of a series of ten impressive obelisk shaped stones and two boundary rocks that marked the boundary of the unenclosed moorland owned by the nearby Duchy of Cornwall’s now demolished Rillaton Manor. All of the boundary markers are on open moorland, with the exception of “1 RIL” which is on private land but clearly visible from the lane from Minions to Higher Stanbear, and “5 RIL” which is in the garden of a house in Minions Village.
