Pawton Quoit is a Neolithic burial tomb in Cornwall, England. Dating back to the Early and Middle Neolithic period (3500–2600 BC), this burial monument is situated in a field near Haycrock Farm, south of St Breock. The tomb is oriented north-south and consists of a long burial mound, measuring 28 by 22 meters. The damaged burial chamber, enclosed by large stones, is situated at the south end of the mound. An enormous capstone lies across it, supported by three stones, but a section of it has broken off.
