Tregiffian Burial Chamber. A late Neolithic/early Bronze Age burial chamber, Penzance, Cornwall

---

Tregiffian is a type of monument known as an “entrance grave”. Tombs like this are unusual and are found in the far-west of Cornwall and on the Isles of Scilly. Around 14 definite Entrance Graves are known on the mainland and about 106 on Scilly. The entrance to the chamber is through a gap in the kerb, with a short passage leading to a small chamber, roofed with granite slabs.
