The Caratacus Stone, sometimes known as the Caractacus Stone, is an inscribed stone on Exmoor in Somerset, England. It is thought to date from the 6th century,[1] and it has been a scheduled monument since 1925.[2]
The inscription, in Latin, appears to read Шаблон:Smallcaps,[1] though experts have stated that a bar above the second Шаблон:Smallcaps forms a ligature meaning that it should be read as Шаблон:Smallcaps.[3][4] It is possible that there was more text on the stone that has weathered away.[1]
The inscription, which can be translated as "grandson or immediate descendant of Caratacus",[3] has led to the general opinion that the stone was probably erected as a memorial to a person who claimed the first-century British chieftain Caratacus as an ancestor.[1]
The first mention of the stone was in 1219, when it was described in a perambulation of the Royal Forest of Exmoor as "the Langeston".[1] In 1890 the letter Шаблон:Smallcaps (which is reversed) was missing from the inscription, but by 1919 the missing piece had been found and was cemented back in place.[4] In 1906 a shelter was erected over the stone, and an excavation in 1937 revealed that the stone was not associated with a burial site.[1]
