Emergency excavations in the village of John O'Groats (ND379 732) revealed a shallow but complex sequence of deposits adjacent to a field known to have produced both human remains and a flint axe (NMR site ND35NE6). Remains of a prehistoric settlement werefound, which had been substantially disturbed by txvo separate episodes of burial. Radiocarbon evidence suggests that first began in the 11th-12th century and the second look place in the 16th-17th century. Burial during the early period was extremely intensive: in addition to the burials, masses of disarticulated human bones were recovered
