Informations supplémentaires

Carvings of bronze flat axe-heads overlying cup-marks on the massive capstone to the central burial cist inside Nether Largie North round cairn, Kilmartin Glen, Scotland, UK. There are at least 10 axes & some 40 (41) cup-marks. As the axes overlie the cups the capstone may have been fashioned from an earlier, Neolithic monument such as a standing stone. The cairn was excavated in 1930 by J.H. Craw & reconstructed in the early 1970s. The cist lay near the centre of the cairn, it contained a human molar, charcoal & ochre suggesting an inhumation burial which rotted away. Nearby lay a pit containing an ox tooth, dark soil & charcoal. Two upright slabs, one decorated with two pecked circles, were also recovered from the cairn which was originally solid & around 21m across x 3m high. Part of a prehistoric linear cemetery of five cairns in Kilmartin Glen.
