Peakies can be identified on or near accessible mountains and most are located only a short distance from a palace.

Some were openspaces with elaborate structures, stone lamps and libation vessels.

Votive offerings were...offered here and included things such as jewellery, clay body parts (lol) and cattle.

Some Peakies were found charred in wood ash suggesting burning was part of peak sanctuary ritual
