Portal dolmen 400m north east of Lesquite Farm is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Cornwall. The structure comprises a stone-built chamber typical of portal dolmen design, a form common in south-west England dating to the Neolithic period, approximately 4000–3000 BC. Portal dolmens are characterised by their distinctive entrance arrangement, formed by two tall uprights supporting a lintel stone, which would originally have been covered by an earthen mound. This monument represents an important example of early funerary practice and demonstrates the substantial communal investment in burial architecture during the Neolithic.
