Orkney is the unlikely home of one of the most important archaeological sites in the word, and certainly one of the most important Neolithic sites ever found.
With over 1,000 years of occupation starting 5,000 years ago the site, which is called the Ness of Brodgar, clearly shows how Neolithic cultures changed over time and is an invaluable tool for any archaeologist.
This fascinating account gives an in-depth description of the site and how it was found. Please note there are six pages, so scroll down at the bottom to move on to the next.
