Devon Farmer Builds Bronze Age Burial Chamber

Gavin Dollard, a resident of Ivybridge in Devon, England, is building his own
"cromlech," or Bronze Age burial chamber.
In a new twist on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," a Devon farmer has
decided to construct his own cromlech, a granite burial tomb. Dollard, who owns
an open air art gallery, considers the newly-completed tomb part of his
sculpture gallery but still plans to be buried in it. The huge, granite
stones for the chamber were brought from nearby Dartmoor and set into place by
crane. Experts believe that this is the first such burial site to be
constructed in England in 2000 years.
