A large fifth-millennium BC cemetery in the subarctic north of the Baltic Sea?

This week Public TV had an interesting report of about the same age on houaing and buriels in northern Britain that was very interesting. Since the bodies were laid in stone vaults there were skeletal remains even though over 6,000 years old. Orkney Islands (?) if I remember correctly.
