Lanyon Quoit in the Snow.

Lanyon Quoit is the best-known Cornish quoit, as it stands beside the road leading from Madron to Morvah and can be clearly seen. Believed to be the burial chamber of a long mound, Lanyon Quoit is unusual in many ways and may have been more of a mausoleum or cenotaph than a grave. Recent theories suggest that these megalithic monuments were never completely covered by mounds but that their granite capstone and front portal stones were left uncovered to form a dramatic background to the ceremonies performed there.
