Full description

The OS in 1961 record three saddle querns and one probable rubber on either side of the path from the roads to St Morwetha's church porch. There is one quern on the east side of the path (p1) and two others and the probable rubber are grouped together on the western side of the path (p2). The rubber is 0.2M long and cylindrical in shape, narrowing slightly at the ends. It is granite and worn very smooth. Mr Casley of Trevowhan told the OS that one of the querns was found near the field wall at Trevowhan (30651). The other two and the rubber were brought from Towednack but he did not know the specific location (h1). Russell in 1971 lists a saddle quern in the churchyard at Morvah from a hut circle at Croftoe (30425.11) (b1).
