A Neolithic burial mound, dating back more than 5,500 years dominates this tranquil site. Following excavations, the entrance to the tomb has now been restored to its original glory. A tiny chapel is situated on top of the mound, (Mabon Crypt can be seen in this chapel) and there are geology and archaeology galleries and a World War Two German bunker. This bunker houses a unique memorial to the memory of the slaveworkers in the Channel Islands during the Second World War. In the grounds of the museum stands the Neolithic House which is the focus for a number of activities designed to give visitors a better understanding of the day-to-day life of the community that built the burial mound.

Stand inside the chamber itself to find the heart of this ancient place of worship. Explore the command bunker built during the German Occupation and unearth treasures in the geology and archaeology museum. Refreshments are available from the shop on site.
