Archaeology Notes

ND39SW 54 3236 9339 to 3223 9317

A linear soilmark has been recorded from aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) in a field to the SW of the Martello Tower (ND39SW 10) at Crockness. The soilmark has the appearance of a bank and ditch, with the ditch to the N side. It is possibly an old field boundary, however, there is no evidence for such on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Orkney, 1879, sheet 119).
