Tomb reveals secrets of a 4000-year old power lord

Archaeologists have uncovered a rare example of a grave that has been kept almost intact for 4000 years.

The burial chamber, which was found in Forteviot, Perthshire, is thought to have been used as the final resting place of a “significant” person, who may have been a community leader or religious figure in the Early Bronze Age.
