Digger finds Neolithic tomb complex (BBC)
Archaeologists on Orkney are investigating what is thought to be a 5,000-year-old tomb complex.

A local man stumbled on the site while using a mechanical digger for landscaping.
***
One end of the tomb was accidentally removed as it was discovered and as a result, the burial site has now been flooded.

Archaeologists are in a race against time to recover its contents before they are damaged or destroyed.
***
The team are posting daily video updates from the excavations {http://www.youtube.com/user/360Production} which are expected to take 10 days.
