Inside the large mound there is a long passage leading into a chamber which branches off into three corridors. The corbelled roof inside the burial chamber is still watertight and supports an estimated 200,000 tonnes of cairn.The cremated remains of the dead were laid on large stone basins inside the chamber which usually were accompanied by grave goods.
