Abstract:		 Removal of Late Norse midden debris from the tunnel and chamber area of this supposed souterrain revealed the base of a stone-lined chute indicative of a horizontal mill. A fragment of probable mill stone and several semi-perforated stones support this new interpretation. Industrial activity revealed by large-scale environmental sampling may not be directly related to the mill. Viking age finds from under the passage walls, including steatite sherds, provide a base date for the complex. An adjacent mound of fire-shattered stones contained the remains of a Bronze Age pot # a rare occurrence in Orkney. Geophysical survey of the area continued from 1989, locating several rectangular structures and a large enclosure with possible double ditch, and further fieldwork examined the construction of the mill and its potential water source.
