Brane Barrow

Brane Barrow, or Chapel Euny Barrow, is a Neolithic entrance grave located near the hamlet of Brane, Cornwall, England [1]. It is considered to be one of the smallest and best preserved burial monuments in Britain [1]. Brane Barrow is a scheduled burial monument located 317 yards south west of Brane End Farm, and 1.2 miles southwest of the village of Sancreed, in Cornwall [1]. The monument includes an entrance grave, situated in a low-lying pasture close to the upper Lamorna River [1]. The barrow is a circular mound of earth and stones, measuring up to 20 feet in diameter [1]. The mound is surrounded and retained by a border of large granite blocks [1]. It contains a rectangular stone-lined chamber measuring 7.5 ft long by 4 ft wide and 3 ft high [1]. The chamber is roofed with two capstones: a third capstone was removed at some point [1].
