Watching Brief (17 July 2012)
A watching brief was undertaken by Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA) on July 17th 2012, on a line of fence post holes and a shallow trench at the Scheduled Ancient Monument of the Norse horizontal mill, Orphir. The results of the watching brief show that the the post holes contained the possible remains of a road surface above the natural glacial clay. However because of the limited size and number of the fence post holes and lack of dating evidence full interpretation is limited.
