Clava cairn

A Clava cairn is an ancient burial monument built around 4,000 years ago in Scotland, characterized by a circular stone setting with a central chamber enclosed by large stones. These structures served as tombs or ceremonial sites, often featuring a surrounding ring of stones and entrance passages. Their purpose was likely religious or funerary, marking important burial places for prehistoric communities. Clava cairns are notable for their intricate construction, including carefully arranged stones, and they provide valuable insights into early Celtic burial practices and rituals.
