HU3909 : Prehistoric Village, Jarlshof
taken 11 years ago, near to Sumburgh, Shetland Islands, Great Britain

Prehistoric Village, Jarlshof
Wonderful agglomeration of wheelhouses in the lee of the medieval tower at Jarlshof. Bronze Age, Iron Age and Pictish people lived here, followed by Vikings. All left remains of their houses and these lied undisturbed for centuries until a 1900s storm blew off the sand covering the stones.
