Huntersquoy Chambered Cairn

Huntersquoy chambered cairn is a Neolithic chambered cairn located on the island of Eday, in Orkney [1]. Huntersquoy chambered cairn is situated on a gently sloping hill overlooking Calf Sound in Orkney, Scotland [1]. It is a good example of an Orkney–Cromarty chambered cairn [1]. It dates from the Neolithic era, sometime during the years 3000 through 2001 BC [1]. These tombs, often called "stalled cairns" are characterized by a central passage edged by upright stones which divide spaces into separate chambers [1]. Huntersquoy is unique in that it is a rare double-storied burial monument [1]. It is seen as a small, unobtrusive, circular mound, 10 m in diameter and 60 cm in height above ground [1].
