The Watchstone #Orkney

Originally 1 of 2, this #Neolithic monolith, to the NW of the Stones of Steness (at the point where Steness and Harray lochs meet), now stands alone

Today it is quietly observing the backfill @NessofBrodgar dig

[Jane Harrison @JaneHarrison865]

A wonderful, windy, wet day exploring marvellous mounds - archaeology in abundance - and delightedly discussing place names with @RagnasIslands @JudithJesch and @HermioneMole

[Jane Harrison @JaneHarrison865]

Looking across from one Skaill farm on Papa Westray to another on Westray across the water.
Skaill = Old Norse skáli, 'hall'
Wonder which important saga person might've lived in the Papay one? 🤔

Descend with us into an Iron Age storage pit where Steve is busy cleaning a basal deposit of cow bones

Today, at the bottom of an Iron Age storage pit, Joe found a small decorated knife handle made of antler

It is gorgeous and we love it ❤️

Kira has just found part of a small Iron Age horse in a pit at #Durotriges24

She is happy 😊

#Findsfriday

[Community Archaeology North CIC @AppletonAARP]

Loving all these finds - keep them coming! And of course we and our Northumberland volunteers love a loom weight or 58!

[Durotriges Project @Durotrigesdig]

Joe's Iron Age storage pit at #Durotriges24, the gift that kept on giving, is now excavated, but not before it gave up its final secret

4 rather splendid chonky triangular baked clay loom weights

Perfect for #FindsFriday 😊
