Lanyon Quoit In The Snow. - Lanyon Quoit Is The Best-known Cornish Quoit, As It Stands Beside The Road Leading From Madron To Morvah And Can Be Clearly Seen. Believed To Be The Burial Chamber Of A Long Mound, Lanyon Quoit Is Unusual In Many Ways And May Have Been More Of A Mausoleum Or Cenotaph Than A Grave. Recent Theories Suggest That These Megalithic Monuments Were Never Completely Covered By Mounds But That Their Granite Capstone And Front Portal Stones Were Left Uncovered To Form A Dramatic Background To The Ceremonies Performed There.
