| PICT'S HOUSE [Quanterness] | Picts House | Donald Sutherland Quanterness David Munro Saverock Mr McBeath Albert Street Kirkwall |
102 | A large green mound bearing no marks of excavations, having a small hole or entrance on its N.W. side, large enough to admit a person on their knees, situated immediately west of the farm of Quanterness and about 2 miles north west of Kirkwall. Dr Barry's History of Orkney says "Internally it consists of several cells or compartments, the principal one of which is in the centre twenty-one feet six inches long, six feet six inches broad, and eleven feet six inches high, built without any cement, with large flat stones, the one immediately above projecting over that below, so as gradually to contract the space within as the building rises till the opposite walls meet at the top where they are bound together by large stones laid across to serve as it were for keystones".... "In one of the apartments, and entire human skeleton, in a prone attitude, was found but in the others, the bones found were not only separated from one another but divided into very small fragments." |
