 "Not more than two miles from Penzance stands the celebrated cromlech of Lanyon -- often pronounced Lanine. This, like all the other cromlechs, marks, no doubt, the resting-place of a British chieftain, many of whose followers repose within a short distance of this, the principal monument."

Hunt 1903

[This view would no longer be supported archaeologically - portal dolmens where repeatedly used and reused, including, but not necessarily exclusively, for the deposition and re-use of human remains, possibly as a community 'ancestor' rather than an individual]
