King Doniert's Stone - Men Myghtern Doniert

Return southwest along the road from Minions. King Doniert's Stone (Men Myghtern Doniert), also called as The Donier Stone, is one of two ancient carved stones which stand in an enclosure beside the road linking the A38 to Minions and Upton Cross. It is to the south-eastern side of Bodmin Moor. The two stones are parts of early medieval crosses, possibly dating to the late ninth century.

King Doniert's Stone is the decorated pedestal of a large memorial cross. The four sides are panelled. Three sides of the stone are carved with interlace patterns while the fourth has an inscription bearing the name of the last recorded Cornish King (thought to be King Durngarth). The inscription reads "Doniert rogavit pro anima" which translates as "Doniert begs prayers for the sake of his soul".

Known as "the Other Half Stone", the second stone on the site is a decorated cross-shaft. The decorated panel on the front is an eight cord plait with the back has broken off. The two sides are not carved, and it could be that the monument was never completed.

Both stones, are only small fragments of original large stone crosses that stood on the site.

King Doniert's Stone and the Other Half Stone can be accessed by small layby allowing parking beside the road.
