Chun Quoit

Description

Chun Quoit is one of the best preserved of all Neolithic quoits in western Cornwall, United Kingdom. Chun Quoit is located in open moorland near Pendeen and Morvah. Standing on a ridge, near the much later constructed Chun Castle hill fort, it overlooks heather moorland and the open sea. Erected in the Neolithic period (3500-2500BC), this chambered barrow still retains some evidence of the mound which once surrounded it.
