Lanyon Quoit

As you drive southeast of Morvah
Lanyon Quoit seems to appear
It’s a portal tomb or dolmen
In a field, just standing clear

At first it looks quite ghostly
With its upright standing stones
A flat stone table tops it
Just this structure all alone

In October 1815
A storm had brought it down
But 9 years later re-erected
It’s still solid on the ground

It’s an awesome sight to see it
And sense the history of this place
With mine stacks in the distance
A vision time cannot erase
