A 3D model was created using photogrammetry techniques, with photographs taken using an iPhone 6s and processed through 3DFZephyr software. To facilitate upload, the model's quality was deliberately reduced. This slate inscription from the 19th century serves as a translation for the Cunaide Stone, a 5th-century Christian burial stone inscribed in Latin, which is the oldest known Christian burial stone in Cornwall. The stone was discovered by workers in 1843 who excavated it while landscaping to create an ornamental public park. The slate slab was placed next to the repositioned burial stone on one of the banks of the King George VI Memorial Plantation (the same site as Carnsew hillfort), where it remained until December 15, 2018, when the stone was removed due to increasing risk from torrential rain damaging the bank. The Cunaide Memorial Slate was registered in 1988 by Historic England as a Grade II Listed Monument. Latitude: 50.18351220796574 Longitude: -5.423548280782451 Altitude: 13m
