Hautville's Quoit is a standing stone located in Somerset, England, and represents a megalithic monument of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The stone stands as a solitary example of the upright monoliths that once characterised the prehistoric landscape of south-western England, though detailed archaeological investigation of this particular site remains limited in the published record. Its survival into the modern period, despite considerable landscape change across Somerset, underscores the resilience of such monuments to agricultural and developmental pressures. The stone's exact original function and any associated ritual or ceremonial significance remain matters for archaeological interpretation within the broader context of prehistoric standing stones in the region.
