Prehistoric Burial Ground Found On Skye
Author: Jonny Muir Source: Press and Journal (UK)
Title: PREHISTORIC BURIAL GROUND FOUND ON SKYE
  A prehistoric burial ground has been discovered on Skye.
Six slab-lined graves and six cremation pits have been unearthed on the excavation site close to Armadale pier on the Sleat peninsula. Experts say it is one of the most significant archaeological finds yet made in the Highlands.
Flint tools and urns were found inside the graves, although skeletal remains had been damaged due to the tide.
The contents of the burial site are being removed by a team of archaeologists from Inverness and Skye. They could be reconstructed and relocated to a new site at Armadale.

I always wish, though, that we could see what really comes of more of these discoveries that make the news, usually without much in the way of photos.

This may even be as important as the Skara Brea settlement in the Orkneys! May we learn from our ancestors and Blessings to the folks who discovered this incredible link to our past!

It's wonderful that more and more antiquities are being discovered in UK.
Alas, no pictures.
