Lanyon Quoit is a Neolithic dolmen. That said, it collapsed in a storm in 1815 and was re-erected nine years later, it is thought that it is now different from its original appearance. The granite capstone weighs more than 12 tons. The quoit stands at the north end of a long barrow, but the barrow has been damaged and is often overgrown and difficult to see.
