Just watched a bbc "education" program about the orkneys history. The presenter refering to the ditch as a water filled moat. ha ha.


Colin Richards suggested that the ditch of Brodgar ,when full of water , mirrored the surrounding lochs as the monoliths echoed the skyline .


seriously though, is there any evidence this could actually happen. ive never seen a ditch at any site actually containing water.
there must be pourosity problems. i know of no sites with a ditch made exclusively made from clay.
