Maeshowe will close to the public on September 26.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) has announced the temporary closure of Maeshowe due to health and safety concerns.
The 5,000-year-old Neolithic chambered cairn will close to the public on September 26 and HES said it will not reopen until the health and safety concerns are addressed.
The monument is currently accessed from Tormiston Mill and the adjacent car park, located across the busy A965 road.
HES has been monitoring safety issues for staff and visitors relating to vehicle movements, and “consider there to be significant risks to staff and visitors which cannot be mitigated effectively at this time”.
