Archaeology Notes

HY32NW 20 3412 2819.

Complex earthworks in the stream valley probably served a small mill of the horizontal type.

Visited by R. G. Lamb, 1981

Activities

Field Visit (April 1981)

Complex earthworks in the stream valley. There is a leat

coming down higher up and remains of a stone-revetted dam

crossing the valley with a lean-to building (not itself a mill)

against its N side. The works probably served a small mill most

likely of horizontal type.

Information from Orkney SMR (RGL) Apr 81.
