Trethevy Quoit.

            Trethevy Quoit is a particularly well preserved “portal dolmen”, a burial chamber from the late Neolithic period.  It is one of the most impressive in Britain. This chamber tomb is dated from the Neolithic or late Stone Age, and may have been built sometime in about 3500 BC. It is sited on a promontory overlooking the confluence of streams which flow southwards to become the River Seaton; the northern skyline is dominated by Caradon Hill and the granite massif of Minions Moor.
It is thought that the hole in the capstone may have been used for astronomical observations.
