"The following are a few of the interesting remains of old Cornwall which have entirely disappeared from the neighbourhood within a few years-...
...At Brunnion, not far from St Ives, in the garden attached to the house which is occupied by the Hoskings, is an arched doorway of carefully-worked granite. Tradition said this doorway belonged to an ancient church, and that the present garden was the burial-ground. Close by, at Treveerack, is a field known as the "Chapel Field," in which the plough is constantly turning up stones which have been carefully chiselled."
Hunt 1903
