From the photograph, I would say this was 1900-1920; if there are any grouse experts out there, please tell me more about this, and is it in the same state now?
Found this info in Andrew Langdon’s ‘Stone crosses in West Penwith’ (1997): Beside a public footpath across Trengwainton Carn - described by Blight and Andrew’s father as having a slightly pointed head – sits in a base stone considered ‘in situ’ though shaft lost – may be used somewhere as gatepost – the monument marks an ancient church path, now a public right of way from Boswarva south east to Madron parish church. It seems, judging by Langdon s photo, to be in just as good condition.
Good - there is something that worries me about picture straighteners that like to re-set everything so it looks brand new. It looks as if time has been at work, and that is one of the arts lost by English Heritage (from direct personal experience). Thank you trepolpen.
