Viking runes & C20th graffiti (a stylised bird, doodles & lettering PICTISH MARKS) on the cell lintel in Unstan (Onston) Neolithic chambered cairn, Orkney, Scotland, UK. The slab was reused as a lintel for the W side cell when the tomb was restored: it was probably set upright when the runic inscription was carved. The marks are not Pictish, but there is disagreement as to whether the bird is the same age as the Viking runes or C20th. Viking tomb robbers entered several prehistoric cairns in Orkney (most notably Maes Howe) leaving scratched inscriptions & drawings.
