Summary
| Description |
English: Haylie Chambered Tomb. Also known as Haco's Tomb (perhaps a reference to the very much later Norwegian King Haakon of the Battle of Largs), this long chambered grave, of the Clyde type, lies in grassland near Douglas Park; the site is easily accessible, marked by a sign with rather worn lettering. I chose to show this end of the grave because it is still well exposed to view; the other end was largely obscured by vegetation on the day the photo was taken.
As can be seen here, an original capstone is still present on the surviving chamber, which is the innermost of (probably) three original chambers. The grave was originally covered by a large cairn (called Margaret's Law), which was removed in 1772. This Neolithic site has been dated to between 3000 and 2000 BC. For another view, see 757038. |
