| Lanyon Quoit makes a fine, dramatic photograph and features in
many of the tourist publications for the West Penwith area of Cornwall. However, though the
site and stones are for real, it isn't an authentic image of
prehistory. The original collapsed (26) in a storm in 1815, breaking some stones.
The capstone was re-erected on three stones where there were
probably more supports originally, and the axis of the monument
was turned through 90 degrees. |
