Ancient wooden bowl that may have been used to share alcohol at Stone Age celebrations 2,000 years ago is unearthed in a chamber in Orkney
The 2000-year-old Iron Age drinking vessel is the island's oldest to date
It was found in an underground chamber, which is accessed by a series of steps
Dubbed 'Cairns Cog', it may have been passed around to share alcohol
Archaeologists believe the chamber was sealed when the broch went out of use
It was abandoned sometime between the later first and mid-second century AD
