The early Christian memorial stone located 380 metres south-east of Worthyvale Manor is a carved stone monument dating to the early Christian period in Cornwall, likely between the fifth and seventh centuries. The stone bears an inscribed cross or chi-rho symbol characteristic of early Christian funerary practice in the South West of England during the post-Roman period. Such monuments serve as evidence of Christian belief and burial practices in Cornwall during a formative period of the Christian Church in Britain, when the region maintained distinctive cultural and religious traditions. The stone's survival and recording as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its archaeological importance as a marker of early medieval settlement and Christian activity in the Worthyvale area.
