Pool, Sanday HY 6194 3785 HY63NW 17
A very extensive and rich site showing deposits, up to 2m thick, along a shore length of 60m. Stone structures seen at various levels including what is either a Buckquoy-type Pictish house or an early Norse house. Iron Age and Norse finds. This is one of the most actively eroding sites in Orkney; damage is sustained, rapid and very serious.
