Ancient chambered burial tomb, the remains of the people buried there were produced through excarnation where the body is left for animals, mainly birds to scavenge. The pictures are self explanatory, both inside the ancient mound and outside. 

 

 

Almost invisible, the ancient burial mound can be seen in the centre of the picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The table below is a reproduction of what the original is thought to have looked like, the human remains being exposed to birds to scavenge, the remains being laid in the tomb when only the bones are left.
