On E side of Moaness a reclangular naust, aligned NE-SW, 10m
x 5m, two-period. Its second phase is quite like a modern Orkney
naust, the erlier period being a substantial building. A few
rivets found. [R1]
Presumably related to nearby Norse settlement. - see OR 534.
'Norwegians have uncovered remains of two rectangular
drystone buildings one apparently overlying the other. According
to local information the excavators believe this to be a Viking
naust, but quality of building suggests it may be a later house.'
OS visit Oct 82.
Now backfilled.
Information from Orkney SMR (RGL) Sep 1980.
