Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn

Knowe of Yarso chambered cairn is a Neolithic burial monument located on the island of Rousay in Orkney, Scotland [1]. The site was excavated in the 1930s, and uncovered human and animal bones as well as pottery sherds, flint and bone tools, and arrowheads [1]. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1994 [1]. Knowe of Yarso has been dated to the years between 3500 and 2500 BC [1]. The burial monument can be seen as a large grass-covered mound with a concrete roof [1]. The tomb is a type of Orkney–Cromarty stalled chambered cairn, similar to Midhowe and Blackhammer, also located on Rousay [1].
