Some measurements from Craig Weatherhill's book Cornovia: "The ruined dolmen consists of a fallen capstone 5.3 by 2.8m and weighing 12.5 tonnes, leaning against an upright 1.9m tall. A second upright at right angles to the first is 1.7m high and 2.7m long."
To find this amazing site follow the B3268 south from Bodmin. After you have crossed the A30 take the third turning on the right. Follow this road to a sharp right bend and continue 'till you see, on the right, a lane where you can park. On the right hand side of the lane is a field gate, skirt the edge of the field to reach the Quoit.
