. In the care of the National Trust this burial chamber composing three uprights and a capstone is one of the most famous in Cornwall and one of the easiest to reach. The chamber was once covered by a long barrow approximately 25m long by 12m wide. The structure fell in 1815, breaking some of the stones. It was re-erected in 1824, but is now significantly less high. Old drawings show people on horseback below the capstone.
