Excerpt: ...in Morvah (a small but perfect specimen), Pawton (St. Breock), Zennor, Bosporthennis (also in Zennor)1 and in many other places. Several have been destroyed. The Cornish dolmens are in comparison with those of Ireland and the Continent small. The cap-stones of those at Zennor and Lanyon are eighteen feet long2 of that at Chun twelve feet, Mulfra (fallen) eleven feet.

CISTS. A cist, or cistvaen (cista-maen, stone chest) is but a smaller dolmen and was probably as a rule covered with a mound. Specimens of cistvaens occur at Crousa Downs, St. Keverne ('The three brothers of Grugith, ' one side stone being a natural rock in situ) at Chapel Car n Brea and elsewhere. Canon...
