 * Symbol question.svg New enough. Long enough. NPOV. Dup detector found no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. All paragraphs cited. Hooks are all good, accurately reflect the sources, and I have no preference. However the Skara Brae fact is only mentioned in the lead, and needs to be cited somewhere. No QPQ review done yet. Image suitable for mainpage. Edwardx (talk) 19:25, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Updated article with additional references & included Skara Brae fact in body; also updated above to better reflect sources - "Pictish burial ground", not "Viking". - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 20:32, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you Ryk72, for all the extra hard work, and sorry for the delay. And as far as I can determine, you've not yet done five DYKs, there is no need to do a QPQ review. Edwardx (talk) 13:34, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
