View NW of Pennance Entrance Grave (The Giant's Craw), Cornwall, England, UK, showing the round mound with collapsed entrance at the SE. A chambered tomb of the Scilly/Penwith type kerbed with alternating large & small upright stones. The partially blocked passage-chamber is c 4m long x wide with 5 of the flat lintel stones (capstones) still in place. The entrance faces SE up a small river valley towards the hills; to the NW the river leads down to Porthglaze Cove. There is no firm date for Pennance, but entrance graves are considered to have been in use during the Late Neolithic & Early-Mid Bronze Age (c 2500BC-1000BC).
