Chapel Carn Brea(50°09'N, 5°65W) is an elevated granite outcrop at the northern edge of the parish of St Buryan, Cornwall, England, UK. It is often described as the first hill in Cornwall (from a westerly perspective) and rises 657 feet/200 Metres above sea level [1]. The hill is an important historical site showing evidence of neolithic activity, as well as the remains of the chapel from which it is named.
