Tregeseal Entrance Grave - point cloud

This barrow was uncovered in 1879 by WC Borlase. The chamber remains intact with two capstones still firmly in place. It is aligned NW-SE, but we are uncertain which end served as the original entrance. Excavations yielded sherds, ashes from cremations, a whetstone located inside the chamber and a Middle Bronze Age ribbon handled urn stored within a cist. The urn is now on display at the British Museum. It's possible that the monument visible today signifies two distinct phases - an initial Neolithic chambered barrow with a later Bronze Age cist, which may also have been when the mound was expanded in size. The chamber measures 3.8m in length and averages 1.2m in width. The north end is covered by two stone slabs for a distance of 1.9m. The internal height of the chamber stands at 0.7m. The mound signifies the extent of the barrow, marked by possible kerb stones. ‘Solid’ version: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/tregeseal-entrance-grave-35f6b298b9094645a87a37c4e4dc96a5 3D scan for Penwith Landscape Partnership by the Curatorial Research Centre.
