  2. I believe they are known as a "quoit": a ring of iron, rope, or rubber thrown in a game; the flat covering stone of a dolmen; or, in the inimitable Australian slang without which the world would be a poorer place, the buttocks - which, in this instance, is not entirely inappropriate.

    1. The Cornish call the whole dolmen a quoit, with several being roadside attractions. That place was a Neolithic den of activity.
