Introduction
Banks Chamber, also called ‘Tomb of the Otters’ is a major archaeological find in the last 30-40 years. Its exceptionality lies in the fact that it was a totally untouched chamber with a lot of human bones, being sealed off probably in the Neolithic, but anyway its entrance passage and by all means its internal passage was filled in with clay and rubble up to the roof so no person nor animal could enter any longer. The place is called the Tomb of the Otters because throughout the period of its active use, otters were free to get in there and a huge amount of otterspraint was still visible throughout the chamber when it was partly excavated.
