Lanyon Quoit On 19 October, 1815, Lanyon Quoit, a dolmen, was torn down by a storm. Nine years later enough money was raised by local inhabitants to re-erect the structure. During the storm one of the uprights was broken in half. Thus, there are only three uprights today and the structure does not stand as high as it once did.
