BBC, 1 November 2007

A 2,000-year-old bronze Iron Age chain has been discovered during work in Scatness.
The chain, with 20 double links and the remains of possibly the clasp, was recovered from a roundhouse wall by the Shetland Amenity Trust.
The chain is described as extremely well preserved and adds to the jewellery and other metal artefacts found at the site.
Shetland Archaeologist Val Turner said: "This discovery is quite rare."
