(4300–3300 BC) The Tregiffian Burial Chamber is a Neolithic or early Bronze Age chambered cairn located near Lamorna in west Cornwall, England. It is a rare type of passage grave known as an Entrance grave, featuring an entrance passage lined with stone slabs that leads into a central chamber. This architectural style is also found in the neighbouring Isles of Scilly, suggesting cultural links between these regions during prehistory[1].
