Cuween Hill is the site of an ancient Scottish Agricultural tribe with many structures still intact. Estimated to be 5,000 years old, this important cave served as a burial ground for family and animals alike, holding the skull bones of 8 humans and 24 canines. When the cairn was rediscovered, it was found that the entrance was carefully closed off, indicating that the ancient tribe took care to seal the tomb once it was fully used. Once inside the cairn, the layout shows four offshoots from the main chamber. A modern roof caps off the inside, placed there after 19th century explorers broke through the roof to enter.
In recent years, excavation of the area unearthed a settlement at the foot of the hill, below the cave, believed to be the dwelling grounds of the tribe. Both are open to visitors.
