King Arthur's Quoit
King Arthur's Quoit submitted by hamish : On the corner of the lane to Trewethett Farm at Trethevey. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is at the beginning of the lane to Trewethett Farm, on the left as you approach from Bossiney. It is a large slab with an information plaque.

It is on the parish boundery of Tintagel. It is claimed to be the capstone of a Dolmen, the supporting uprights having been removed for gate posts. Strange to think that this was erected about the same time Abraham was setting out for the promised land.

The plaque says the stone is alleged to have been thrown there from Tintagel by King Arthur.
