Treen Entrance Graves Entrance Grave View all content for Treen Entrance Graves

An unlikely overgrown hummock turned out to be one of my favourite places in the whole of Penwith. There are a few graves here, but the one blew me away. Dreadlocked with brambles and gorse, I set to work with ocifant's 'Leatherman' [TM] clearing the tangles away from the entrance with the handy saw to gain access to the tomb. And I was well rewarded with a 10' long chamber, maybe 3' high with 3 lovely capstones. The walls were of large stones. I crawled in and sat at the back for some time. A fox had made his home here in a burrow within the chamber. This one looked like nothing but turned out to be reet special. A real discovery, and not unlike the tombs on Scilly, though I wasn't to find that out till the next day.
