A good precursor to The Merry Maidens stone circle a short distance away.

Wow some of the reviews are amazingly ignorant! A one star for such an intact ancient burial mound..! The other goes on to be surprised the road was built so close....the road was built in 1840, before people were so interested or educated in preserving the past!

I found this fascinating.It sits by the side of a road that I have driven many times but I never knew it was there! A shrt walk from the Merry Maidens it's so interesting. Basically around 4000 years ago they creamated people here and it's still there. Really enjoyed visiting

Whilst it was great it was so easy to find, I do wonder about locating the road so close to such an old sensitive structure?!Interesting place though.

Tregiffian Burial Chamber is a Neolithic or early Bronze Age entrance grave.Two stones mark the entrance to the chambered tomb. One is decorated with 25 hollows or 'cupmarks' which are a rare type of prehistoric rock art. This stone has been replaced with a cast replica. The original stone can be seen at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro. A cremation was found when excavated in 1871.AndMerry Maidens Stone Circle

The best Neolithic or Bronze Age sites are the ones directly by the side of the road, not requiring a mile uphill through brambles. Good energy here, and interesting to look at. We were the only ones here on a weekday afternoon. See the Merry Maidens a short walk up the road.
