Treen Entrance Grave (SW)
Treen Entrance Grave (SW) submitted by Bladup : Treen Entrance Grave SE has had a splendid haircut (Vote or comment on this photo)
This tomb is one of four tombs and barrows, two of which are Scillonian entrance graves. The others are too mutilated to know whether they contained a chamber. The best preserved is this Treen Entrance Grave (SE) which is a mound 25' across and 4'6" high with a 13' long, 3' high and 4' wide chamber on its northern side. The orientation of the chamber marks the midwinter sun over Carn Galva.

Note: A nicely cleared Megalithic Tomb with a Mohican haircut - whatever next!

The chamber is not aligned on Carn Galva. Rather the chamber faces NNW towards the coast and may have been aligned on the Gurnards Head. The opening description state the tomb is Neolithic. However a number of entrance graves have been carbon dated and it is generally accepted that these sites were constructed in the Early Bronze Age (1800bc ish).
