Devil's Quoit (Angle)
The Devil's Quoit (even Newton Cromlech called) is a megalithic chamber grave ( English chambered tomb ) in the middle of a field about 500 meters from the dunes of Broomhill Burrows, at Angle on the south side of the entrance to Milford Haven Waterway in Pembrokeshire in Wales .
The collapsed Portal Tomb consists of two in situ approximately 1.3 m high portal stones and the large, slipped cap stone of 3.7 × 2.4 × 0.5 m, which leans against the portal stones and an end stone rests on the rest . There are remains of other stones inside.
In Cornwall and Wales (not Ireland) Quoits are portal tombs from the Neolithic Age , in which two vertical megaliths support the single cover plate. These dolmens were also known as cromlechs in the 19th century . The Kilpaison Burrows are about 350 m away.
