MenuTristan Stone, Cornwall
The Tristan Stone is an early Christian memorial stone and wayside cross, situated beside the A3082 near Fowey, Cornwall. The Tristan Stone survives as an upright granite shaft, 8ft high set in a modern, two stepped circular base. The south-west face bears an incised Latin inscription which has been read as `DRVSTANVS HIC IACIT CVNORMORI FILIVS' which translates as `Drustanus lies here, son of Cunomorus'. It has been suggested that Drustanus and Cunomorus are Tristan and King Mark from the Arthurian legend of Tristan and Iseult. The inscription dates from between the 5th to the 11th century. It is within the council area of Cornwall.
