Carreg Coetan Arthur

Carreg Coetan Arthur is a Neolithic dolmen near Newport in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dating from approximately 3000 BC. The monument consists of a large wedge-shaped capstone roughly 4 metres long, balanced on two of its four original stone uprights. It is one of the best-preserved burial sites clustered along the Nevern Valley slopes. Excavations during the late 1960s and early 1970s uncovered Neolithic pottery including Grooved ware and Beaker ware, stone tools, and cremated human bones. The name references the game of quoits, with local legend claiming King Arthur himself played with the capstone. The site is managed by Cadw as a scheduled ancient monument.
