Abstract: This chapter draws together all the evidence and the site is discussed under the following headings: the sequence of occupation, Neolithic building and rebuilding, the advent of the Bronze Age, Beaker traces and a Bronze Age hiatus, early Iron Age enclosure and building development, middle Iron Age broch tower and settlement, the post-broch late Iron Age, material culture and discernible changes, economic base, ritual and belief and the site in wider context. There is a growing list of Orcadian Neolithic sites which, after apparent long-term abandonment were restructured in the Iron Age.
