Carwynnen Quoit is a Neolithic portal dolmen located at Carwynnen near Camborne in west Cornwall, England[1]. The monument, also known as 'The Giant's Quoit', 'The Giant's Frying Pan', 'Pendarvis Quoit' and 'Pendarves Quoit', is one of only a handful of such ancient structures in Cornwall[1]. The structure collapsed in 1966, remaining in ruins until a community-led restoration project re-erected it in 2014[2]. This ancient monument represents a rare surviving example of Neolithic funerary architecture in South-West England[1].
