This little tomb, to the south-west of Brane Farm, is rather overgrown, but very well preserved, with a well-preserved passage having 2 large roof slabs still in place.

This site is located on private land - permission should be sought from Brane Farm before visiting.

Just before the farm the road does a sharp turn right you can park here.Best to ask permission from the farmer because access is not easy.May is a good time to come ,the tomb has a nice blue hat.

Entrance grave at Brane (SW 4014 2818)
By 1989 it was found that this mound was being heavily eroded primarily by cattle who were getting onto the mound where there were kerbstones missing. Penwith Distict Council with co-operation of the landowner undertook repairs to the mound including providing new granite kerbstones to replace missing ones and re-forming the shape of the mound.
