Neolithic Tombs of the Isles

Back to the Taversoe Tuick

Some new photographs added to the Tombs of the Isles page after a visit to check some of the puzzling features in the Taversoe Tuick.

Out in Rousay at the weekend, I took the chance to check/photograph a few areas of the Taversoe Tuick Neolithic cairn – in particular the “barrier stone” keyed into the walls just inside the lower entrance passage.

Some of the pictures have been added to the chambered cairn’s Tomb of the Isles page.
