This study documents excavations by Peter Gelling of Prehistoric,
Pictish, Viking and later remains at Skaill from 1963-1981. The
earliest evidence of occupation was provided by ard-marks cut into
the subsoil, which relate to cultivation in the Early-Middle Bronze
Age. Two stone-built structures were also found, dating to the Late
Bronze Age. Iron Age occupation centred on a substantial round
house with adjoining structures. Continuity of occupation into the
7th/8th centuries was suggested by a handful of artefacts from both
this and the Late Bronze Age settlement. Settlement of the Norse
period was found at a third location, where a sequence of five
superimposed buildings were uncovered and substantial remains of a
medieval building overlay the Norse remains on another site.
