Part of the interior of Taversoe Tuick Chambered Cairn on Rousay - one of the Orkney islands. The cairn dates to the Neolithic, and is a wonderful example of a two-storey cairn with chambers on top of each other. 📸 My own. #TombTuesday #Rousay #Prehistory #Archaeology #Orkney

The 4th #Neolithic #chamberedcairn of our trip to #Rousay #Orkney was Taversöe Tuick, a rare example of a double-tiered chamber. Today visitors access the top chamber via a passage & the lower one down a ladder. #TombTuesday 📷 my own August 2024

The 3rd #Neolithic #chamberedcairn of our day in #Rousay #Orkney was Midhowe, the Great Ship of Death. The tomb is protected by a modern hangar & can be viewed from walkways above. 32.5m long, it is by far the largest of the tombs on the island. #TombTuesday 📷my own Aug '24

Our 2nd #chamberedcairn of the day in #Rousay #Orkney this summer was the Knowe of Yarso. High on a hill, it dates from 3500-2500BC, & 17 skulls arranged side by side, plus deer bones, were found here. #TombTuesday 📷my own, Aug 2024
