More about this scene

Near the Madron-Morvah road in Cornwall, this Neolithic burial chamber was restored in 1824 when the capstone fell to the ground during a storm. It was most certainly originally higher, and would have had a large earthen mound over it. The chamber would probably have contained the bones of local chiefs.
