Chûn quoit (from Chy Woon 'The House on the Downs'). An early neolithic quoit on Woon Gumpus Common, near Pendeen in Cornwall. According to Cornovia by Craig Weatherhill, Chûn quoit is one of the best preserved chamber of it's kind in Cornwall.

The Tin Mine walks in Cornwall also cover some of the South West Coastal Path walking route near Pendeen. As well as the Tin Mines a little further inland is Chun Downs and the Chun Castle Settlement with the highlight being the Chun Quoit Megalithic Tomb burial chamber.

It was a drizzly day so had my North Face waterproof jacket on and my walking hat and snood to keep the wind off my neck but still insisted on wearing my walking shorts, just for the fun of it. Lacing up my walking boots and packing my rucksack with supplies we set off from the car park at Woon Gumpus Common on the B3318 to walk on the road to Trewellard.
