Uncovering Orkney's Ring Of Brodgar’s Secrets
Author: BBC Source: BBC News
Title: UNCOVERING STONE CIRCLE'S SECRETS
A major archaeological investigation is getting under way at one of Western Europe's most impressive prehistoric sites.
The Ring of Brodgar in Orkney is the third largest stone circle in the British Isles, but little is known about it.
A month-long programme of investigations will be undertaken by a 15-strong team.
The last important archaeological studies took place there in the 1970s.
Significant developments have taken place since then in analytical techniques including dating.
Historic Scotland said very little was actually known about the site, including its exact age and purpose.

I'm glad there's still some interest in discovering how our ancestors lived.
And, a photo.
