The Tristam Stone

The Connection with King Arthur to the well-known stories of Tristan and Isolde is that of Sir Tristan being a Knight of the Round Table and nephew of King Mark of Cornwall as well as a prince of the Cornish Land of Lyonesse.
Castle Dore is given as a possibility as the site of King Mark's headquarters in Cornwall due to the historical proximity of the "Tristam Stone" which was later moved as well as historical records. Ninth century writings refer to Cunormorus as also being known as Marcus, presumably, one and the same as King Mark of Cornwall.  Originally an Iron Age earthwork, thought to have subsequently been occupied by the Cornish Celts in the fifth or sixth century.
