A stunning location at Kings Quoit,on the Coastal Path overlooking
Manorbier Beach, Pembrokeshire. Park on the opposite headland
(Free) and stroll across the beach and onto the path heading in the
direction of Tenby. The path is a typical Coastal Path, so can be
muddy and has cliff edges....so watch the Kids and the Dog! **The
Co-Ords are for the Quoit, you'll need the clue to find the nearby
Cache**
The Cache is plastic sandwich box which is hidden in the
undergrowth a short distance away from the monument. It contains
the usual pencil and log book etc, along with a starting selection
of trinkets. King's Quoit is a most dramatic survival from the
Neolithic period is a burial chamber. The tomb is beautifully
perched in a dramatic location above the sea cliffs at Old Castle
Head on the east side of Manorbier Bay at the side of a cliff path.
It is possible that there were other chambers in the same complex.
There is no other such site in the district and it is believed to
show the importance of Manorbier as a ritual centre in the
Neolithic period. This low tomb consists of two small sidestones
that support a large capstone measuring 4.5 x 2.7m (15 x 9ft). At
the south-east corner there is another stone, probably the southern
end-stone of the chamber. The internal height of the monument is
0.8m (2.6ft) and the chamber is partially below ground, one side of
the capstone being supported by earth alone.
