Neolithic village found in Orkney sheds new light on Stone Age life
David Lister

The remains of a Neolithic settlement discovered in Orkney were hailed 
yesterday as potentially as important as the Skara Brae village on the 
islands.

The 2.5 hectare site is believed to date back nearly 5,000 years and to 
include a complex system of temples and dwellings spread over two 
fields. The find, at Ness of Brodgar, between the Ring of Brodgar and 
the Stones of Stenness, will add to the area’s reputation as home to 
some of the most remarkable archaeological monuments in Europe.

Tim (now I know why I just itch to get back to Orkney after two working 
trips there last year, lucky git I am; barely a day goes past without 
thinking about the Orcadian tombs, and wanting to just spend ages on 
those islands)
