Chapel Carn Brea

Chapel Carn Brea is an elevated Hercynian granite outcrop, owned by the National Trust at the southern edge of the civil parish of St Just, Cornwall, England [1]. The hill is an important historical site showing evidence of Neolithic and early Bronze Age activity, as well as the remains of the thirteenth century chapel from which it is named [1]. On the slopes and summit there were once eleven barrows, but only seven now remain, mostly in a poor state [1]. On the summit is a 9 metres diameter entrance grave which had a south-facing entrance and was built in the late Neolithic [1]. The chamber was 2.7 metres long, 1.1 metres wide and 1.2 metres high [1].
