More about this scene
On Bodmin Moor stands the specatular burial chamber known as Trethevy Stones or Quoit. It contained one chamber for the dead and was originally surrounded by a large oval mound; this was last recorded in the 19th century, but is now obliterated by man and time!

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I just read a memoir by John Stanyon about playing cricket at Trethevy Quoit. I played with your family.Would love to hear from Ruth. ronaldsteed@thesteeds.us
I lived in Plymouth at the time and our family spent two or three holidays in the village of Darite, the years would be around 1951-3. My father would organise a cricket game in the field where the Quoit stands, we would play three or four times a week and a lot of the local lads would join in. My mother would sit beneath on the base stones and do her knitting. Although it's over 50 years ago my sisters and I have many happy memories of this area.
