Bant's Carn

Bant's Carn is a Bronze Age entrance grave located on a steep slope on the island of St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly, England [1]. The tomb is one of the best examples of a Scillonian entrance grave [1]. The tomb measures around 8 metres (26 ft) in diameter and stands on a low platform 12 metres (39 ft) across [1]. The entrance is 4.5 metres (15 ft) long and 1 metre (3.3 ft) high, with no roof [1]. It is separated from the burial chamber by a jamb [1]. The chamber itself measures around 5 metres (16 ft) in length and 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in width and height, with four large capstones serving as a roof [1]. The tomb was excavated in 1900 by archaeologist, George Bonsor [1].
