Summary edit
| Description |
English: Summit of Cairnpapple The circular trench and bank in the foreground here were dug to form a henge some 5,000 years ago by our neolithic ancestors. Inside the ring are the holes which once held 24 wooden posts. About 1000 years later the practice of burials in the centre of the (by then disused) henge commenced, and eventually a large cairn grew over the burial places. The central cairn seen here is a concrete one, put into place over the burial chamber, following excavations. Inside it are the preserved remains of the original grave (the 'north grave') and a later cist grave. |
