Brownes' Hole is a Neolithic chambered tomb located in Somerset, England. The monument consists of a stone-built burial chamber of a type characteristic of the early Neolithic period, dating to approximately 4000–3000 BCE. The site represents an important example of communal burial practice during this formative period of British prehistory, when megalithic construction techniques were first introduced to the British Isles. Like other chambered tombs of its era, it would have served as a focal point for ritual and burial activity within its local landscape.
