The later phase of the village (which can be seen today), consists of six to seven houses, and what may have been a workshop. It is possible that the settlement was originally larger, and that other houses may have been eroded by the sea. The houses were clustered closely together and partially buried in a deliberately gathered midden made up of domestic refuse, probably to provide protection against the weather.

I would love to see this site for real.

Me, too - have never been

If you are ever up in the North of Scotland, a daytrip from Thurso or, in the Summer, John o' Groats, takes you to Orkney Mainland and then a tour of all the prehistoric sites.
