Perhaps a great great grandson of Dungarth I, this later Dungarth was traditionally the last King of Dumnonia and is said to have held court at Lis-Cerruyt (Liskeard). He is recorded in the Annales Cambriae as having drowned in 876. Traditionally this was during a hunting expedition. Part of his memorial cross, inscribed in Latin 'Domiert ordered this [erected] for [the sake of] his soul', can be seen at St. Cleer. It is known as the the Doniert Stone. The cross inscription shows that this late Dungarth was clearly historic.
