Hi Sigurd, What happens to the farmer then? Is his land not able to be used anymore? Is he compensated in any way ? Isabella Sigurd Towrie wrote: >Another Bronze Age burial kist exposed while ploughing in Harray. Full >story at http://www.orkneyjar.com/archaeology/news.htm > > >

Kist burials are *very* common. They are recorded thoroughly and that's about it. If land was to be put out of use every time a kist was found, we would almost be left with nothing left to farm. -- Sigurd Towrie Blackhall - Kirbister - Stromness - Orkney Heritage of Orkney: www.orkneyjar.com Home: sigurd@orkneyjar.com Work: sigurd.towrie@orcadian.co.uk
