Description

The guidepost, located approximately 350 meters north-west of Bosullow Cottage, stands at the junction of an unclassified road on Bosullow Common. It has a triangular shape with a rounded top. The two visible faces feature the inscriptions: "MORVAH AND ST JUST" on the west side and "ZENNOR AND ST IVES" on the east side. The lettering is carved in Roman capitals into the stone. Each face also includes an incised representation of a pointing hand above the inscriptions. Below the words "St Just" and "St Ives," there is a line broken by two dots, and a guidepost mark is inscribed at the bottom of the St Just side. The stone has recently been painted, with the lettering highlighted in black paint.
