This volume presents the result of three excavations and two field walking surveys in Aberdeenshire intended to shed new light on the character, chronology and structural development of the distinctive recumbent stone circles which are such a feature of north-east Scotland.
One of the two chambered cairns built as burial monuments on the tiny Holm of Papa Westray is the subject of this book. First excavated in the nineteenth century, and again in a more scientific manner in the 1980s, it has shed surprising light on life, death and ritual in Neolithic times.
'This collaborative programme of research represents an exemplary landmark, and all involved deserve support and congratulation.'
– Dennis W Harding (Antiquity)
