The cemetery remained a sacred place in the landscape for millennia, and provides many clues to the beliefs of Bronze Age society.What remains today would have once been part of a larger complex. Two parts of the complex, Balnuaran of Clava and Milton of Clava, are open to the public. The sites contain a range of prehistoric burial monuments and the remains of a medieval chapel.
