Mawgan-in-Meneage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mawgan-in-Meneage is a village and civil parish in the Kerrier district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

Evidence of early medieval habitation at Mawgan is in the form of an inscribed pillar stone, located at the meeting of three roads at the center of the village; it bears an inscription that is no longer readible, but based on old drawing and a photograph taken in 1936 it could have been a memorial stone to either 'Cnegvmus son of Genaius' or 'Genaius son of Cnegvmus'. The date of this inscription is not certain beyond having been carved before the twelfth century. ^[1]
