Dwarfie Starne

[Peter541]

I am an archaeology student and wish to find a drawing of the inside of The Dwarfie Starne near Hoy. I have located much information but no map or drawing. Help would be much appreciated.

I have located a professional archaelogical photographer who has pictures of the interior of the Dwarfie Stane. You may contact him directly by e-mail. His address is charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk

I have received the following e-mail from the Orkney Archaeological Trust (OAT). You can contact them directly by e-mailing oat@lineone.net

The message reads:

Dear Neil
Here is a list of bibliographic references we have for the Dwarfie Stane.
The Calder and MacDonald article has plans and a sketch of the entrance/
interior. Hope this is of use
