This 'Men Skrifa' or 'Stone [of] Incription' bears one of names of the first Cornish people we know of: 'Rialobrani Cunovali Fili', a Latin inscription showing this to be the monument of Rialobran, son of Cunoval. There is another like this at Bleu Bridge, Gulval. These are probably chieftains of the period between the departure of the Romans and the coming of the English. This stone was often a scratching post for cattle in latter ages..
