Description[]
The cromlech known as the King's Quoit is south of Manorbier bay and beach. The monument is on high land above the steep cliff overlooking the bay. The capstone, 4 metres (13 ft) by 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in), and 0.5 metres (1 ft 8 in) thick, is supported partly by the rising ground, partly by two upright stones; another upright to the east has fallen away. The chamber is partly below ground.[1][2][3]
