Oh, nearly forgot that burnt mounds (such as the Pickaquoy settlement) have had rock art built into them just as seems to have happened at the Corrigall earthhouse.
The only one that I'm aware of of is Pickaquoy , do you know of any others Wideford ?

Ah, perhaps the exception to a rule then. At present my ASM's only other Orcadian oddity is gold from the ditch of that at Loch of Tronston in Sandwick. Of course finding rock art in one would normally remove it from this category anyway (Puckaquoy they considered a chambered mound when first excavated)
