Trethevy Quoit from the South The problem with this is that we don't know its complete history. Is that hole in the capstone an original feature? What we do know is that someone once used it to hold a flagpole.

Trethevy Quoit, Cornwall, England

Trethevy Quoit is a well-preserved Neolithic dolmen tomb, known locally as ‘The Giant’s House,’ located between St. Cleer and Darite in Cornwall, England. It was erected during the Neolithic period between 3700-3500 BC. Like other portal tombs of this type, Trethevy Quoit was originally covered by a mound. At the upper end of the cover slab is a natural hole, which may have been used for astronomical observation.
