Abstract:		 Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA) were commissioned by Orkney Islands Council to undertake an intrusive archaeological evaluation on land near Copland's Dock, Stromness, Orkney (hereafter 'the site'). Ten machine excavated trenches were opened under archaeological supervision. The trenches were located to target a series of geophysical anomalies identified in a recent survey of the area (ORCA 2012), and investigate a large mound feature that was highlighted in the walkover survey (ORCA 2011, Aquatera 2011). This work was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a pier, access road and contractors' lay down area on land to the west and south of Garson Farm, Stromness. This evaluation has revealed a low level of archaeological activity over the investigation area, and has indicated that the majority of the responses highlighted by the geophysical survey are geological in origin. In Areas 1 and 2, archaeological features, which are likely to relate to the agricultural use of the area were revealed. In Area 1, two furrow bases, a ditch, and a linear feature associated with two stone lined drains were present in Trench 1, and a shallow ditch / furrow base, a pit or post-hole and a wall were found in Trench 10. A single ditch terminus or pit was uncovered in Trench 8, Area 2, and no archaeological features were present in Area 3.
