A well preserved and impressive neolithic chamber tomb, with a dramatically slopping capstone. Trethevy is known locally as 'The Giant's House'. The site is one of the most impressive dolmens to be found in England. The structure has a 3.7m long capstone, which reaches a height - in its partially fallen state - of 4.6m. The main rectangular chamber is made of six uprights (originally seven) - measuring 2 x 1.5m.
