Obadiah's Barrow
This entrance grave known as Obadiah's Barrow is found on the small island of Gugh in the Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom. Across its cairn there is a chamber with coursed walls and four out of six original capstones remaining, although some have fallen.
It was excavated in 1901 by George Bonsor, where he found a deposit of dark soil on a paved floor with parts of a male skeleton. The barrow is named after Obadiah Hicks, the landlord with whom Bonsor lodged during the excavation on the neighbouring island of St. Agnes.
