Coetan Arthur dolmen is the remains of a Neolithic burial chamber that dates to around 3,000 BC. The unusual and intriguing rock chamber is believed to be a passage grave. The capstone measures approximately 20 feet (6 m) by 8 feet (2.5 m) and is supported on one side by an orthostat — a large stone slab that has been artificially set upright — that is approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) high.
