Salt Knowe Round Barrow(s) View all content for Salt Knowe

Visited 4.6.12 This Barrow is huge – approximately 30 metres across x 3 metres high. An information board stated that it has never been excavated and it is thought that there may be a passage grave inside. The barrow is comparable in size to Maeshowe. I see Wideford states it has been surveyed so the info board is out of date. You get a good view of the Ring of Brodgar from the top of the Barrow. I couldn’t see ant trace of the cist – perhaps it has grown over?
