Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn Wednesday 14/8/96 A heavy metal door greets the visitor to this cairn- no crawls on hands and knees here. It's got one of those horrible domed concrete roofs, but the upright stones of the cairn that subdivide the space make up for it. Apparently this place was used almost 5000 years ago with 29 human remains found. 15 skulls were found in a line facing the wall of the innermost compartment. Today someone has left rabbit skulls and flowers down one endÉ.
