The Guide Stone is located on the South of the road. Parish of Carn Brea (Kerrier District). Carved stone post, erected in the 19th Century. Some believe this is a boundary marker between Basset / TB Vyvyan land, but there are clearly arrows and this face does not just have B. The word POOL is not clear and there looks to be CAMBORNE at the bottom. This possibly refers to the western extent of Basset land.
