More model informationThis early Neolithic (c.5500 year old) stalled burial cairn is located at Tresness, Sanday, Orkney. Coastal erosion has taken taken its toll on this scheduled ancient monument and a significant portion of the cairn has fallen into the sea.
In order to prevent the loss of valuable archaeological evidence the chamber of this tomb is being excavated as a collaboration between Prof Vicki Cummings (University of Central Lancashire), Profs Jane Downes and Colin Richards (Archaeological Institute, University of the Highlands and Islands) and Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark (National Museums Scotland). Further models will be released as the monument is uncovered.
