Indeterminate Site, Inner Brough, Strandburgh Ness. There is no structural evidence of a broch on the spot known as the Inner Brough, near the neck of the promontory of Strandburgh Ness at the N.E. corner of the island. The islet called the Outer Brough could not be visited. As a result of enquiries, however, it was ascertained that, although there are no distinct traces of a broch-like building on the Outer Brough, it was possible, in recent years, to follow a line of wall along its S. edge. It was also stated that the ruined foundations of a dozen or more small houses or shelters used to be visible on the Inner Brough. The latter area is now so much overgrown with long grass that nothing of the kind can be detected.
