Structure 32 - Ness of Brodgar

3D Model

Structure 32 at the Ness of Brodgar is the designation given to a series to walls and related features in Trench J. Only a small building, it was created by closing off the southwestern corner of the earlier Structure 5, which had mostly collapsed by that time. It reused some elements of the earlier building, and it’s possible that the northeastern end of Structure 5 was still standing and occupied when Structure 32 was built.

The Ness of Brodgar is an archaeological excavation covering an area of 2.5 hectares in the Heart of the Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, in Scotland. It has revealed a well-preserved and sophisticated complex of 5000-year-old stone buildings, unlike anything seen before in northern Europe.

Excavation on this scale is expensive: each season costs over £200,000 for the digging and the analysis by specialists that follows. Please help support the project by donating to the Ness of Brodgar Trust!
