Chûn Quoit, Cornwall

The best preserved dolmen in west Cornwall. Dates from the early. Neolithic period.

Probably used as a repository for the bones of the dead and as a place where the living could honour and/or seek guidance from the dead. Considering it’s mushroom-like appearance, maybe there was some psychedelic trance work happening? 😄

The term quoit comes the folklore that these ancient monuments were made by giants playing quoits.
