Cairn in Orkney
Approximately 50m above sea level observable on a hillside, the Eday Manse cairn consists of a remainder of a rectangular mound of large stones. What used to be a ‘Maeshowe-type’ chambered tomb, the site is in close proximity to the ruined remains of a United Presbyterian church. During the construction of the church in 1821 the tomb was demolished and leveled.
