Archaeologists have discovered the ruins of an “incredibly rare” 5,000-year old-tomb on Orkney.
The Neolithic burial site was discovered at Holm, East Mainland in Orkney and is believed to have been destroyed in the 19th century.
A three-week excavation, directed by Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark, National Museums Scotland and Professor Vicki Cummings of Cardiff University uncovered the skeletons of 14 men, women, children alongside further disarticulated remains.
