    Mulfra Quoit is a prehistoric megalithic tomb (dolmen) north of the settlement of New Mills near Penzance. It is dated to around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, in the Neolithic period. The tomb is located on a hilltop which offers extensive views over the surrounding countryside to the coast to the north and south.

    The quoit itself consists of large upright stones supporting a massive capstone, although this is now partially displaced. Originally the tomb was probably covered by a mound of earth which eroded over time, leaving only the stone structure. Mulfra Quoit is one of several similar tombs in Cornwall and is thought to have served as a burial site or ritual site.

      Access is possible via several paths. The Bridle Path from Mulfra (south side) is well signposted, but is very narrow and largely overgrown and therefore difficult to walk. If possible, use the wider path from the north.
