This image purports to show a site not far from Northala Mound which was being excavated by the Ministry sometime in the late 1950s. Note the curious apotropaic markings carved into the earthworks at the far edge of the site near the bottom of the photograph. There are no accesible records - or any other tangible evidence - which recount the purpose or indeed the aftermath of the dig; nor is the site readily identifiable today. All one can say about the matter is that - hopefully - nothing untoward has been roused by these curious delvings.
