About Quoyness - Planning Applications & Local Development

Quoyness chambered cairn is a significant Neolithic burial site situated on Sanday in Orkney, Scotland, likely constructed around 3000 BC. Resembling the design of Maeshowe, the tomb revealed skeletal remains during an excavation in 1867 and underwent partial restoration in the early 1950s to showcase its various construction stages. This historic monument is now managed by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument, making it an important point of interest for planning applications and heritage considerations in the area.
