ND 4898 9882 A second season of recording was undertaken from 8–15 June 2007 covering the large broch at the NE point of Burray, as part of a postgraduate course with Orkney College UHI. This has produced the first full and up-to-date record of the broch since antiquarian investigations by Farrer and Petrie in the 19th century. The work has recorded the structure of the broch to modern standards, provides clear evidence of an area
of extra-mural settlement to the E of the excavated structure and has highlighted a number of areas of erosion caused by recent animal action.
Report to be deposited with Orkney SMR and RCAHMS.
Funder: Orkney College.
