Carwynnen Quoit is number 35111 in Cornwall County Council’s Historic Environment record (HER) and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Cornwall 396. Although the scheduling description refers to the stones of the monument only, the extent of the scheduled area is fairly large.
Part of 'The Frying Pan Field' which contains Carywnnen Quoit, was purchased early in 2009 by the Sustainable Trust with the help of Heritage Lottery funding. This registered Cornish charity aims to restore the monument and make it more accessible and develop sensitive long-term management of the monument and its landscape setting.
