Summary

An archaeological evaluation at the Standing Stones Hotel, Stenness, located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Heart of Neolithic Orkney,' revealed no significant archaeological features during a trial trench excavation. This study, conducted prior to hotel expansion and parking facility development, employed standard archaeological methods to assess potential impacts on the site's heritage value. The absence of notable findings suggests minimal subsurface disturbance in this area, providing valuable baseline data for future preservation efforts.
