Notes: |
This appears to be an engraving of a dolmen called Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall. The monument was actually destroyed in 1815 by a storm, and was rebuilt incorrectly. This engraving is of the original monument, since it predates 1815. Cornwall Guide has a photograph. Megalithia has a useful map. |
