MenuMên Scryfa, Cornwall
Mên Scryfa is an inscribed standing stone near Madron, Cornwall. The inscription, in debased Roman capitals, reads "Rialobrani Cunovali fili", which translates as "Rialobranus son of Cunovalus." Rialobran may have been a Cornish petty king or tribal leader. The inscription has been dated on stylistic grounds to the 5th to 8th century AD. The stone itself is though to be a prehistoric standing stone. The stone, once prostrate, was re-erected around 1862, the last word of the inscription being buried. The monument is within the council area of Cornwall.
