78% Informative
The Ness of Brodgar is one of the most important Neolithic sites in the British Isles .
Since 2004 , excavations at the site have so far uncovered 40 structures, a cluster of buildings which suggests this was an important settlement in prehistoric Orkney .
The team will now begin filling in the trenches and buildings from the "spoil heaps" - piles of soil removed over the past 20 years - using mechanical aids.
The Ness of Brodgar site has been there for thousands of years .
It's hoped the work done over the coming months will protect it for thousands more.
Nick is sad to be covering up their work, but he's sure it's the right thing to do.
"Hopefully, our legacy will always be an important part of Orkney ," he says.
