^{page 139 note 1} I visited all these sites in 1941; the majority have been recorded in the Inventory of the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments (Scotland), printed in 1939 but not yet issued.

^{page 141 note 1} Sourin was once divided into three ‘towns’, and the other divisions noted here diverge somewhat from those mentioned in early scat lists; see Marwick in Proc. Orkney Ant. Soc. ii, 19.

^{page 141 note 2} Old Statistical Account, 1793, vii, 336; even in 1627 there were 400 communicants in the parish.

^{page 142 note 1} Bones of wrasse and bream were noted in no. 1, of conger eel in no. 4.

^{page 142 note 2} Remains of red deer were particularly abundant in nos. 4 and 5.

^{page 142 note 3} E.g. Quandale, PSAS. 1936/7, 72; Mansies Knowes, Inventory no. 567 and nos. 563, 572, and 582 and the cremation interments found as secondaries in Taiversoe Tuack.
