Possible Chambered Tomb in Orkney. Investigating earlier geophysics scans of a field between Lochview and Brodgar Farm, a trench has revealed the remains of what may be a chambered tomb. And if it is, it could be the "missing link" between the two styles of Stone Age cairn found in Orkney.
As another season’s work draws to a close, the Stenness side of the Ness of Brodgar continues to throw up archaeological surprises – including two pieces of iconic Neolithic art.
