Archaeologists say pottery and stone tools have also been found at the site in Orkney.
Archaeologists say they have uncovered the ruins of an "incredibly rare" 5,000-year-old tomb in Orkney.
The three-week excavation led by Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark, of NMS, and Cardiff's Prof Vicki Cummings has revealed traces of a stone cairn 15m in diameter, which had contained a 7m-long passage. Much of the site at Holm was damaged by antiquarians, without any records being made of what they found. Stones were also removed for building work.
