Carburrow Quoit is an unusual jumble of stones located c. 60 yards NW of the E cairn on the summit of Carburrow Tor. The stone structure consists of an elongated cuboid stone pointing NW, supported on the SE by a stone slab and in the centre by a small boulder. It looks too artificial to be shaped by natural forces. Given the nearby cairns on the summit, it seems likely that Carburrow Quoit was constructed by man for an unknown purpose.
