LIST OF ANCIENT AND HISTORICAL MONUMENTS
AND CONSTRUCTIONS IN ORKNEY AND SHETLAND
WHICH THE COMMISSIONERS DEEM MOST WORTHY OF PRESERVATION.

NOTE.-While it is hoped that this list may prove useful to H.M. Office of Works, upon whom rests the
responsibility of scheduling under the Ancient Monuments Acts, the Commissioners would not wish it to be
regarded as exhaustive from that point of view. It includes only those monuments which can, in their opinion,
be strictly described as "most worthy of preservation." Monuments in the custody of H.M. Office of Works
are marked * .
