 One of a number of chambered tombs along the Heritage Trail on the North Orkney isle of Eday, the Huntersquoy Chambered Cairn is unusual in that it has two storeys.
All that remains of the upper chamber are two upright stones. The lower chamber is intact, but unfortunately water-logged and therefore not accessible.
