Knowe of Burristae HY 4317 4291 HY44SW 1
This broch-mound now stands hard against a low, exposed shore, and the sea has scoured away most of the interior so as to expose about a sixty-degree arc of concave interior wallface, opposite the sea. This structure displays various architectural features including a scarcement and, above this, a square opening into the intramural gallery. On the land side, the mound is over 4m high and very steep; slab-structures are detectable in the ground up to 25m from the base of the mound.
