Situated within Cornwall's picturesque landscape, Pawton Quoit stands as a testament to Neolithic determination. Erected during the Early to Middle Neolithic period, approximately 3500-2600 BC, this ancient burial site lies nearby Haycrock Farm, to the south of St Breock. Orientated from north to south, the structure spans 28m x 22m, consisting of a long mound that houses a burial chamber veiled by large stones, located at the mound's southern edge. The chamber's roof, a colossal capstone, is supported by three stones, yet a sizeable portion of it has been snatched by the brutal hand of time.
