Giant's Quoit, Neolithic dolmen near Camborne, Cornwall, England.
The granite monument features a massive capstone measuring 3.3 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, supported by vertical stones at 1.5 meters height.
Welsh antiquarian Edward Lhuyd made the first recorded documentation of the prehistoric burial chamber around 1700, marking its entry into written history.
The structure represents early Neolithic engineering methods, constructed approximately 5000 years ago as one of Cornwall's rare portal dolmens outside Penwith.
Visitors can access the site by taking B3303 from Camborne toward Praze-an-Beeble, turning left before Killivose Cemetery until reaching the woodland's end.
The dolmen underwent complete reconstruction in 2014 after lying collapsed for 48 years, with the final capstone placement occurring during the summer solstice.
