Knights etching of 1845 shows the Quoit as it is now...all be it surrounded by midget sheep!. I think that if it had been re-erected it would have been done by the Victorians..which it wasn't.



Think Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901, Mr H, (so that would put Knight’s print into the Victorian timeframe). It could have been erected a few centuries earlier though – lifting gear for heavier stuff would certainly have been fairly common. Question is, would anyone bother? Is it on private land or on an estate once owned by a wealthy landowner (who might have thought it worthwhile erecting as a ‘landscape feature’).
