Archaeological Evaluation (28 March 2013 - 28 March 2013)
Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA) were commissioned to undertake an intrusive archaeological evaluation on land near Rennibister Farm, Firth, Orkney. The archaeological work was undertaken in order to investigate two parallel geophysical anomalies identified in a recent survey of the area.
A single, 50m long by 1.5m wide evaluation trench (Trench 1) was machine excavated across the geophysical anomalies to investigate this feature. No significant archaeological features were found.
