Interesting facts about this location
Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn
Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn is a chambered cairn near Finstown on the main island of Orkney. Cuween Hill dates to around 3,000 BCE. It is a cairn of similar design to Maeshowe, but on a smaller basis. Cuween Hill was constructed as a burial place by a group of Neolithic farmers. It is located on top of a hill, and it has been suggested it overlooked the farms of those who used it. The entry to the tomb is down a narrow passage, partly open to the sky.

Mainland, Orkney
The Mainland is the main island of Orkney. Both of Orkney's burghs, Kirkwall and Stromness, lie on the island, which is also the heart of Orkney's ferry and air connections. Seventy-five per cent of Orkney's population live on the island, which is more densely populated than the other islands of the archipelago. The lengthy history of the island's occupation has provided numerous important archaeological sites and the sandstone bedrock provides a platform for fertile farmland.
