Abstract:		 This chapter considers the chronological development of the cemetery and its spatial organisation during its two main phases of use: the early and late Bronze Ages. It considers its relationship to an older settlement site and the architectural links between the principal early Bronze Age monuments. The discussion emphasises the significance of two celestial alignments in the organisation of the cairns. The most important of these was the position of the midwinter sunset, although the location of the midsummer sunrise is also reflected in the layout of individual monuments. The discussion reviews the symbolic significance of the grading of the kerbstones and monoliths and the use of building materials of different colours. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the ways in which the cemetery was expanded and changed during the late Bronze Age.
