    Image Knapofhowarinsun.jpg right thumb 300px The front of the structures At Knap of Howar on the Orkney Islands Orkney island of Papa Westray , a Neolithic farmstead has been wonderfully well preserved, and is claimed to be the oldest preserved stone house in northern Europe, with radiocarbon dating showing that it was occupied from 3500 BC to 3100 BC, earlier than the very similar houses in the settlement at Skara Brae . The site The farmstead consists of two adjacent rounded rectangular thick walled buildings with very low doorways facing to sea , the larger and older linked by a low passageway to the other which has been interpreted as a workshop or a second house. They were constructed on an earlier midden , and surrounded by midden material which has protected them. There are no windows, and they were presumably lit by fire, with a hole in the roof to let out smoke. They stand close to the shore, but when originally built lay inland. The shore shows how the local Rock geology stone splits into thin slabs, giving a ready source of construction material.
