Other rare finds have also been discovered in the tomb.
The tomb was largely destroyed by Victorian antiquarians 127 years ago Archaeologists have uncovered the ruins of a 5,000-year-old tomb in Orkney where 14 skeletons of men, women and children have been found. The Neolithic site has been found at Holm, East Mainland, by experts from National Museums Scotland and Cardiff University. It was largely destroyed by Victorian antiquarians 127 years ago but despite this individual pieces of human bone have been found.
Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark, of NMS, one of those who led the excavation, said: ‘Orkney is exceptionally rich in archaeology, but we never expected to find a tomb of this size in a such a small-scale excavation.
