The Neolithic site of Sara Brae
Skara Brae is a well preserved neolithic site on the shoreline of the Bay of Skaill, Orkney, Scotland that was revealed during a massive storm in 1850. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage site that dates back to 3200 BC and is the best preserved Neolithic site in Europe. Note the stone hearth in the centre and stone-build storage cupboards, seats and bedding areas. It has been called the Scottish Pompeii because of evidence that it was rapidly abandoned ~2500, possibly in another destructive storm.
