Dist:0.2km<br/>From the EH Scheduled Monuments record: The monument includes a prehistoric standing stone with a medieval cross incised on it, situated in the churchyard at Mabe in west Cornwall. The stone, which is listed Grade II, is 1.85m high and 0.66m wide at the base tapering to 0.35m at the top. The principal faces are orientated north-south, and on the top of the north face is a small incised `Latin' cross, probably added at sometime during the medieval period. On the east face the granite has naturally weathered along linear cracks, which has given the misleading impression that there is a further inscription or incised ornament on this stone. The standing stone is set in a low mound and is considered to be in its original location.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The church, which is separate from the village, was originally dedicated to St Mabon (or Mabe), who is believed to have been one of the 24 children of King Broccan. Local quarries were once a chief source of granite for building projects such as Waterloo Bridge in London.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The church stands well outside the village of Mabe in a fine setting high above Argal reservoir. On a fine day there are views towards the clay workings around St Austell about 25 miles away.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Unnamed road, west of Argal Lake. The road here crosses a beck or stream, leading into the lake. I can't find anything on the map to put a name to either the road (between Spargo and Treverva) or the stream. The only name I have found is "Chyglidden", which may refer to a nearby house (on the left of the picture behind the wall and some trees).

Dist:0.6km<br/>Presumably caused by an unusual temperature inversion over the water which produced misty conditions (and earlier low, billowing clouds) over the water only.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Cliftures farm, in the snow of February 2009 which reached even West Cornwall. Note communications equipment of Goonhilly satellite earth station on Goonhilly Downs on horizon. Note also the dominant telegraph pole, now a rare feature in many parts of the country but still very prevalent in Cornwall, running down lanes and across fields.
