Furthermore, the local newspaper reported that “a large decorated stone with a pair of incised triangles and a series of rectangular bands running across the surface” was found. And all of these discoveries were made in earth that previous environmental sampling “suggests” dates back around 5,000 years.
Towrie discovered what “might” be a carved stone after noticing animal remains falling from an eroding section of shoreline in the Bay of Skaill. Dr Antonia Thomas, the Archaeology Institute s rock art specialist, said the large, decorated stone was “potentially a carved stone” similar to those discovered at Skara Brae. Furthermore, based on the scale of the eroded section Towrie said “we may well be looking at a Neolithic/ Bronze Age site on a par with Skara Brae.”
