	Scillonian entrance grave (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Entrance graves of Cornwall, south east Ireland and the Isles of Scilly are megalithic chamber tombs of the Neolithic and early Bronze Age in the British Isles.
		Entrance orientations in Scillonian graves follow no discernible pattern and they appear to have been used for deposition of multiple cremation and inhumation burials with up to 60 individuals found at Knackyboy Cairn on the island of St Mary's.
		The earliest known finds from Scillonian entrance graves include fragments of middle Neolithic Carn Brea type ware and have led some archaeologists such as Paul Ashbee to argue that they are in fact of early Neolithic or even Mesolithic date.

		There were several multiple graves, for example one containing two adults and three children with grave goods of grooved teeth pendants and ochre, bone daggers and boar's tusks.
		graves may have been marked with a low mound, a ring ditch, a post, or even a small wooden structure, although the evidence for this generally only survives in areas of chalk subsoil.
		There tends to be less respect for older graves in the later medieval period, although this could also have occurred due to the demand for space and the lack of any grave markers.

		Abandoned in 1855, the islands have a fabulously well preserved post-medieval (late 17th to the mid-19th century) landscape and settlement of 19 buildings, however the ravages of time have taken their toll and something needed to be done to secure the remains for the future.
		During the Bronze Age people were buried in entrance graves: roughly circular structures made of stones and soil that overlay a rectangular-shaped chamber and were surrounded by a kerb of boulders.
		The location of the entrance grave is stunning with wide vistas across the sea to the other islands.

		The west Penwith peninsula – the area west of the ‘neck’ which divides the Land’s End peninsula from the remainder of mainland Cornwall – forms the core area of distribution patterns for a number of distinctive monument types, ranging in date from the earlier Neolithic to the Roman period.
		It is widely known that architectural similarities are shared across this area, with portal dolmens, passage graves and Clyde and court cairns (the old Clyde-Carlingford culture) found on either side of the Irish Sea.

		Replacement of a coverstone and jambstone gave the opportunity to observe the care with which the stones had been selected to fit each other, and also to retrieve a quantity of pottery to extend that recorded by Bonsor earlier this century.
		A new plan is also provided of Lower Bant's Carn, which is partly concealed by a field bank representative of the many which show a close relationship between Scillonian entrance graves and cultivation terraces.
		These chambered cairns appear to be not primarily for the burial of the dead, but are shrines probably intended to restore rapidly diminishing soil fertility.
