A watching brief was maintained to monitor the excavation of three small holes near Barnhouse Neolithic Settlement, Stenness, Orkney (HY 3079 1271). These holes were required for the installation of a new information board. Below the turf two distinct layers were seen. The uppermost of these layers contained a fragment of red flint while the lower produced a piece of modern china, suggesting that this part of the site had been disturbed relatively recently.
