King Doniert's Stone
King Donierts Stone (also Durngarth's Monument) stands together with another stone near the Trethevy Quoit and the stone circle The Hurlers , north of St Cleer, on Bodmin Moor , in Cornwall , England . It is the granite base of a 9th century cross that was probably made of wood and stuck in the slot that is present on the stone.
The "Stone of the King Doniert" is called in Cornish: Men Myghtern Doniert . It reminds of the last Cornish king Durngarth (English Duncan), who is said to have been a descendant of the king "Gerren" (Geraint) of Dumnonia (Cornish: Dyfneint), who established his court in Liskeard (Cornish: Lis -Cerruyt - northwest of Plymouth ) is said to have held. The stone and the record of his death in the Annales Cambriae are the only indications of Durngarth's existence.
The Latin inscription reads: “Donated Progavit Pro Anima” translated as “Donated commanded (this cross) for (the benefit) his soul”. She asks for prayers for the king who drowned during a hunt in AD 876.
