Pictures of Lanyon Quoit

Submitted by Hilary Hoad(5th October 2007)

Lanyon Quoit, Cornwall

This prehistoric monument in Cornwall's far west was once supported by four large stones, and was tall enough for a man on horseback to stand underneath. Following its collapse, one of the stones shattered when they tried to re-erect it, so now it stands with just three supports and only a very small man without a horse could stand underneath it.
