Bant's Carn, Neolithic burial site in Isles of Scilly, England.
The burial chamber measures 5 meters in length with 1.5 meters in width and height, covered by four large stone capstones.
Built between 2500 and 1000 BC, the entrance grave features a passage extending 4.5 meters long and contains cremated remains from Bronze Age settlements.
The tomb represents one of eighty entrance graves discovered across the Isles of Scilly, reflecting burial practices of prehistoric communities.
English Heritage maintains the site, which connects to nearby walking paths and includes the Iron Age village remains of Halangy Down.
Archaeological excavations in 1900 revealed 140 decorated prehistoric pottery fragments positioned around the portal stone of the chamber entrance.
