Old Boundary Marker on Emblance Downs, St Breward parish
Estate Boundary Marker on the open moorland of Emblance Downs west of the De Lank waterworks and adjacent to the enclosed farmland of Ivey Farm. Clearly visible from the lane to the waterworks. St Breward parish.
One of six stones which appear to have replaced a line of smaller stones that are shown on the 1842 St Breward tithe maps and which mark a portion of Emblance Downs under the ownership of William Morshead, who at the time, owned the nearby Ivey Farm. The stylised VI (with the letter I crossing the right-hand diagonal of the letter V) carved on these stones is thought to represent the name Ivey. The nature of the carving on these stones and the fact that they are not shown on the Ordnance Survey maps of the early 20C would indicate that they were erected in the first quarter of the century.

Estate Boundary Marker on marshy enclosed farmland in the valley south of Lower Candra Farm. This stone is mounted on the remains of a medieval bank that is the boundary of Lady Down to the south and southwest and Treswallock Downs to the north. St Breward parish.

Treswallock Downs was owned by the Manor of Hametethy and Lady Down by the Manor of Blisland. The Molesworth family owned the Manor of Blisland and their mark M X can be found on the southern face of the stone.
