More about this scene
In the middle of the northern inner circle stands the Cove; it originally consisted of three stones, of which two now remain. It is possible that bodies were left here on funerary platforms - in the watchful presence of priests - to decompose, before a skeletal burial was carried out later in one of the many long barrows that surround the area.
