Brane Barrow

Brane Barrow, also known as Chapel Euny Barrow, is a Neolithic entrance grave near the hamlet of Brane in Cornwall, considered one of the smallest and best-preserved burial monuments in Britain. The circular mound of earth and stones measures up to 6.1 m in diameter, surrounded by large granite blocks, and contains a rectangular stone-lined chamber 2.3 m long, 1.2 m wide, and 0.9 m high, roofed with two surviving capstones. Entrance graves of this type, dating to c. 2500-1000 BC, are unique to western Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The barrow was first documented in 1863 by antiquarian William Copeland Borlase.
