purplecat: Averbury Stone Circle.  A large stone close by and smaller markers leading away. (General:Prehistory)

A grassy bump on the horizon.

Our next stop on the road trip was Unstan Chambered Cairn. There was another low entrance so Ragnor opted to remain outside. However, unlike Maeshowe, there was no guide, no ban on photographs and no railings to stop you touching the archeology. It might be a minor tomb in Orkney terms, but was nevertheless pretty impressive inside with the partitioned main chamber and a smaller chamber to one side. The roof had been replaced, but at least that let in plenty of light.
