Mulfra
Quoit
Burial Chamber
SW 452 354
On the road from Porthmeor to Penzance, about 1 mile beyond the Porthmeor circle you pass a left turn. Carry on until you reach a house on the left where there is a small parking space opposite on the right. A slightly overgrown public footpath leads to the top of the hill through the gorse where the chamber comes into view as well as panoramas all around (if it is clear). The name Mulfra is derived from the Cornish for bare and hill, it is a bit bleak but the views make it well worth it.
A 4th stone would have been on the SE side but there is no trace of this. There are traces of remains of a mound about 11 metres diameter. It is worth the climb up.
