Final Ness of Brodgar excavations under way in Orkney

Nick Card, site co-director, said if it was left open then very quickly the stone would start to disintegrate.

“So the best way to preserve it is to re-cover it, return it to the conditions that have kept it safe for the last 5,000 years,” he told BBC Scotland News.

“And it’s leaving the site for future generations to maybe come back, do further work here, and probably add to the story that we have created about the Ness.”
