Grain earth house
Another souterrain, entered through the cellar roof. The strange shaped long hump is the course of the underground passage which once linked the cellar to its house. In the centre of an industrial estate, this is one of the more unlikely places for an ancient monument!

Muddisdale Willow-crop
These willows, of a few different species, were planted in 2006.
Whilst supposedly quick growing, they may not reach 'fruition' for a many years yet.
Established for trials of renewable fuel in Orkney, this plot was planted by the Agronomy Institute http://www.agronomy.uhi.ac.uk/ at Orkney College to investigate the success of take-up and sprouting of the different clones in their first year.
