Fierce winds and extremely high tides stripped the grass from the large mound known as Skerrabra. Several stone buildings have been unearthed in subsequent excavations, and now survives as eight dwellings, linked together by a series of low alleyways. Radiocarbon dating has shown the settlement dates from the Late Neolithic period, and was actually inhabited between 3200BC and 2200BC. Because of the protective cocoon offered by the sand covering the settlement for 4000 years, the buildings and contents are incredibly well preserved, giving an unparalleled glimpse of life as it was in Neolithic Orkney, and an enduring testament to the stonewallers.
