Unyatuak burial mound

The grave mound of Unyatuak (also called Unyatank or Unyatauk) is a scheduled monument and is located west of Bonnyhill , in Monquhanny on the Orkney island of Shapinsay in Scotland . It was disturbed, but still has a diameter of 10.0 m and a height of 0.7 m.

Due to its location 200 m west of Bonnyhill, the round mound with a remaining diameter of about 10.0 m and a height of 0.7 m is probably a burial mound. Most of it is made of earth and has been damaged by cattle. The center is formed by the remains of a circular stone structure 3.0 m in diameter. It is not known that any finds were made in the mound.

Nearby are the two-foot-tall Odin's Stone, lying on the ground, and the Burroughston Broch .
