Lanyon Quoit, a Neolithic dolmen in Cornwall, England

Beschreibung

Time has altered the land around it, but Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall, England, still commands attention. Built in the Neolithic period, 'The Giant's Table' offers a rare chance to consider how early settlers marked their presence. Formed by upright stones holding a massive capstone of about 13,000 kilograms, the monument likely served as a communal burial chamber.
