Brane Barrow, also known as Chapel Euny Barrow or Hut Barrow, is a Neolithic chambered round barrow, near the hamlet of Brane, Cornwall (grid reference SW401282). It is located two miles southwest of Sancreed.
The chamber has a height of 0.9 metres, a width of 1.2 metres and a length of 2.3 metres. The surrounding mound measures 6.1 metres diameter by 2.1 metres high. The only mutilation is on the south where the side of the barrow has been removed to expose the chamber. The barrow was described by William Copeland Borlase in 1872 and is in much the same condition as when he saw it.
The barrow is considered to be an example of the Scillonian Group of chambered round barrows, of which there are over forty in the Scilly Isles, and four in west Cornwall. The barrow can be visited with permission at Brane farm.
