Lanyon Quoit

3D Model

Neolithic quoit between Morvah and Madron in West Penwith, Cornwall UK.

The quoit collapsed in 1815 and was rebuilt in 1824. Originally it had four upright supports, but only three were used in the reconstruction. This 3D scan revealed the date AD 1824 carved into one of the supporting stones.
