Interesting facts about this location
Chûn Quoit
The best preserved of all quoits (also called dolmens or cromlechs) in Cornwall, UK is Chûn Quoit, located in open moorland near Pendeen and Morvah. The uphill walk is worthwhile because this is perhaps the most visually satisfying of all the quoits. Standing on a windy ridge, near the much later constructed Chûn Castle hillfort, it surveys heather moorland and the open sea.
