HY 3182 1277 Under the terms of its PIC call-off contract with Historic Scotland Kirkdale Archaeology was asked by Historic Scotland to undertake a programme of excavation and monitoring at Maes Howe. This work was a continuation of work done in July 2005. The work was undertaken in response to long term problems with moisture penetrating the chamber of the monument, presenting a threat to the preservation of carvings inside the tomb. A full report can be found in the Kirkdale Archive.
