Location:  Cornwall, Near Madron.

Description: The south-westerly tip of Britain, known as West Penwith, houses several quoits (also called dolmens or cromlechs). The best preserved of all is Chûn Quoit, up on the open moorland.

The Quoit was probably covered by an earth mound, of which much evidence remains. It was a closed chamber and its mushroom-domed capstone measures 3.3m (11ft) by 3m (10ft), with a maximum thickness of 0.8m (2ft 7in). It is supported about 2m (7ft) from the ground by four substantial slabs. There is evidence of an entrance passage to the south-east within the mound area.
    The site was examined in 1871 but no significant finds were made. In the same vicinity of Chûn Quoit there are many other megalithic and archaeological sites as Lanyon Quoit, Mên-an-Tol and Mên Scryfa.

Alignments: The rocky outline of Carn Kenidjack marks the position of midwinter sunset away to the south-west.
