      A stone crucifixion panel with two crosses above the figure's arms; Charles Thomas suggests this is a pre-Norman altar frontal (possibly 7th–9thC, although 11/12thC also suggested); now located inside Phillack church but originally found built into the lych-gate.pic.twitter.com/LXIaUYLYwW

          In addition, a large number of early cist burials have been found within & around Phillack churchyard; some excavated here in 1973 when road was widened were cut into the bedrock & associated with 5th-/early 6th-century Phocaean Red Slip Ware made in what is now western Turkey.pic.twitter.com/j6b7XqXKds

          Worth noting in light of imported 5th/6thC pottery from Phillack & the 5thC chi-rho stone, which has been compared to early chi-rhos from the continent/E. Mediterranean, that Charles Thomas suggests Christianity in Hayle Estuary may have its roots in Gaul or even further afield.pic.twitter.com/v3HWKi1ASh

          Some further support for this idea might be had from St Ia of St Ives, located just around the bay from the Hayle Estuary, who was arguably an Early Byzantine saint:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/953724742221090817 …

          Interestingly, there is evidence for Late Roman trading links between the Hayle Estuary & the eastern Mediterranean too, prefiguring the better-known 5th-/6th-century links between this area & Cornwall e.g. coin of Constantius II, mint of Alexandria, c. AD 340, found at Phillack.pic.twitter.com/JIFKY3YPms

          If there was a probable 5th-century AD and later ecclesiastical centre (possibly monastic in character) with continental links in the Hayle Estuary at Phillack, there may also have been a secular centre too at Carnsew Hillfort.pic.twitter.com/r6K4Swvamq

          Although Carnsew Hillfort is unexcavated, there is evidence for post-Roman activity here via a late 5th- or very early 6th-century AD burial & associated inscribed memorial stone (the Cunaide Stone) that originally stood at the foot of the hillfort: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/cisp/database/stone/hayle_1.html …pic.twitter.com/uUGRhLiJbt

          A Late Roman coin hoard deposited in a bronze container in the late 3rd century AD; it was found a little to the west of Carnsew Hillfort in 1825, when workmen were taking away the upper part of the cliff and the adjoining field during the construction of the Hayle causeway.pic.twitter.com/NNyfNFqhZ4

          Finally, Charles Thomas suggests that the Neolithic tor enclosure and Iron Age multivallate hillfort of Trencrom Hill, which is located 1.5 miles to the west of the Hayle Estuary & overlooks it, may have also played a role in the 'post-Roman' era...pic.twitter.com/KedVo7wJKx

          Looking back to Phillack (Cornwall), there are a number of interesting pre-Conquest finds from here in addition to the stone sculpture mentioned above; for example, this late 10th-century cut silver halfpenny of Æthelræd II (978–1016), found near the church.pic.twitter.com/5V4h8IDqBE

          Unfortunately, only a drawing of the Chi-Rho stone from Cape Cornwall survives (right; left=Phillack); the stone was taken to St Just church where it was displayed for a while, until a Rector who objected to it as too 'Roman Catholic' had it thrown down a well in the 19thC!pic.twitter.com/2FEWnTgLHf
