Mên Scryfa

An inscribed standing stone near the Madron-to-Morvah road in Cornwall, England, standing 1.8 m tall. The name means "stone with writing" in Cornish. Likely erected in the Bronze Age, it was inscribed in the 5th or 6th century AD with the Latin text "RIALOBRANI CVNOVALI FILI" (Rialobranus son of Cunovalus), commemorating a tribal leader whose name translates as "Royal Raven". The stone was found prostrate in 1769, re-erected in 1825, toppled by treasure hunters in 1849, and restored again around 1862. The prehistoric Men-an-Tol stones lie about 300 m to the south.
