The remains of what may have been an Early Bronze Age ritual cremation cemetery have been found on the SaxaVord Spaceport site.

The discovery was made during groundworks for the next phase of Europe’s premier rocket launch site on the Lamba Ness peninsula in Unst, Shetland.

Great bit of archaeology for Shetland. Suspect this could cause a bit of a setback on spaceport timetables
