The Doniert Stone is a fragmentary inscribed standing stone located near Common Moor in Cornwall, comprising a cross shaft and associated underground chamber of early medieval date. The monument bears an inscription in Latin that commemorates an individual named Doniert, likely a local ruler or person of significance, and has been dated to around the ninth century on the basis of its lettering and sculptural style. The surviving cross shaft displays characteristics typical of early medieval Cornish stone monuments, with carved decoration and epigraphy reflecting the Christian culture of post-Roman southwestern Britain. The associated underground chamber, possibly a cist or burial structure, suggests the site held ritual or commemorative importance within the early medieval landscape of Cornwall.
