The tour continued to Skara Brae. This neolithic village was exposed by a storm in 1850 and was further unearthed by the local laird, William Watt of Skaill. This 4000 year old village has eight rooms linked by alleys. Each room has a fireplace with a bedbox on either side. On the opposite wall are shelves.
So do they think the shelters were built to include a covering of sod or is this just the accumulation of detritus over the years?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...guess I should know that. Maybe The Girl knows?
