#SouthHill Standing Stone, #Cornwall
5th - 7th Century AD
At top is a “Chi Rho” monogram, an early #medieval symbol for Christ.
Below are two curved lines, perhaps symbolic of the “Resurrection”.
An inscription reads CVMREGN-FILI MAVC - translating as Cumregnus son of Maucus

I also find it interesting in Cornwall that round enclosures, which probably were used for religious purposes, were taken over by Christian churches.
The enclosure or Lann gave the name to villages e.g. Lanreath.
My photo is taken at road level up over the enclosure bank to the church.
