Blackhammer Chambered Cairn

Enter the chamber of a 5,000-year-old burial monument on the small Orcadian island of Rousay. Blackhammer is a fine example of a Neolithic chambered tomb, of a type known as a stalled cairn, with a long central chamber divided into seven compartments, or stalls. Visitors' dogs are allowed on site, but are not permitted in roofed areas. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and not left unattended at any time.
