The Kings Quoit is located south west on a small bank above a cliff face immediately adjacent to the Pembrokeshire coastal foot path approximately 300m from the beach at Manorbeir Bay
Description
The monument which faces inland towards Manorbeir consists of a huge single capstone of local stone supported by two uprights, although a third upright located at the south eastern end, which is now probably collapsed. The position of the three uprights suggests that the chamber was originally rectangular. The Kings Quoit maybe regarded as ‘Earth Fast’ belonging to the sub-megalithic classification.
