Rare 5,000-year-old grave discovered in Orkney
Skeletons have been found in the Neolithic site

Archaeologists say they have discovered the ruins of an "extremely rare" 5,000-year-old tomb in Orkney, the BBC reports .

The Neolithic site at Holm, eastern mainland, was largely destroyed by Victorian antiquarians 127 years ago.

Experts from National Museums Scotland (NMS) and Cardiff University rediscovered the tomb after a search for its exact location.

Despite the damage, archaeologists have found 14 skeletons of men, women and children.

Local volunteers working with the University of Central Lancashire made other finds, including pottery and stone tools./ CNA
