Jarlsh<strong>of</strong> house 8 <strong>and</strong> settlement types<br />

such as Skara Brae from Orkney (Hamilton<br />

1956: 9 ff.; Childe 1931: Plan <strong>of</strong> Village).<br />

Fig. 8 Jarlsh<strong>of</strong> house 8 dated to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Older Bronze Age, <strong>and</strong> Skara Brae is<br />

dated between c. 3100 <strong>and</strong> 2500 cal. BC<br />

(Shepherd 2000:139; Clarke 1976: 26;<br />

Ashmore 1998: 142-147; 2000: 299-308).<br />

Fig. 5: House 12 seen from South East. <strong>The</strong> house mound with <strong>the</strong><br />

cluster <strong>of</strong> houses is seen behind house 12.<br />

Thus it is reasonable to presume at least<br />

as a model that Pinhoull<strong>and</strong> actually began<br />

some time during <strong>the</strong> Neolithic Period,<br />

<strong>and</strong> considering <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong><br />

houses, it could be quite early.<br />
