   Lanyon Quoit - a poorly restored Neolithic tomb

   Folklore suggests it acted as King Arthur’s dining table before his final battle. He must have needed some bloody high barstools if that was the case. Because up until the early 19th century, you could ride through it on horseback without ducking. Its current inauthentic and shorter stature is due to its botched restoration by the Navy after a lightning strike.
