On the right is estate boundary marker CW_WARL19em. One of 5 roughly cut granite stones marked on their eastern face with the letters BC. The Tithe Apportionment shows that the land to the west of these stones is described as “allotment on Common” with the landowner being William Bickford Coham. Four of these stones have been located. Shown on the 6" map of 1907 and on the 1839 Tithe map and Apportionment of Warleggan Parish.

On the left is mine boundary marker CW_WARL20em. One of 3 surviving almost identical stones, marked T on their eastern faces, that are thought to mark the extent of the nearby Treveddoe mine sett.
