Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
An underground structure is described from the east Mainland of Orkney (Newark Bay). In general morphology it is very similar to some part of the variation seen in stone constructions known generally as souterrains. However, unlike any other, it has a large blocking slab preventing access to the final expanded beehive end of the structure, and the possibility of ritual significance is discussed for this case. Terminology is also considered: 'mycoform structure' appears preferable to earth house and souterrrain. Au(adp) | |
