Chûn Quoit è un dolmen (quoit[1]), rinvenuto in Cornovaglia (Inghilterra sud-occidentale), nei pressi del villaggio di Madron[2][3] (tra Pendeen, nella parrocchia civile di St Just-in-Penwith, e Morvah), e risalente al Neolitico (3500-2500 a.C.)[4]. Si tratta di uno dei dolmen meglio conservati della contea[2][3] e dell'unico dell'area che abbia conservato la sua copertura originale intatta[4].

Etimologia

Il nome Chûn deriva dal termine in lingua cornica Chy-an-Woone, che significa "la casa in pianura".[4][5]

Descrizione

Il quoit o dolmen si trova ai piedi di una collina nel mezzo di una brughiera, sotto un forte dell'Età del Ferro, chiamato Chûn Castle.[1][2][4][6]

Ha un'altezza di circa 2-3 metri[2][6] ed è sormontato da una pietra che misura 3,3 metri x 3 metri[2].

In origine doveva esserci una "corte" prima dell'entrata usata forse per riti funerari o altri riti.[1]

Studi

Il dolmen è citato dagli studiosi nel XVII secolo, quando si parlava di un cairn del diametro di 10-12 metri.[6]

Per ritrovare però il dolmen citato in una pubblicazione bisogna aspettare un'opera di William Borlase del 1769.[5] Nell'opera figuravano alcuni disegni del dolmen.[5]

Chûn Quoit disegnato da William Borlase

Una descrizione più accurata del dolmen fu fornita 103 anni dopo dal nipote di William Borlase, W.C. Borlase.[5]
