HY21 5 CUMMI HOWE
HY/28241039
Possible broch close to the shore in Stenness; the site is a mound showing many traces of stonework and the whole of the west side has been eroded by the sea. Part of a circular wall -- either the outer wall face or the inner face of a mural gallery -- is visible on the south side and shows eight courses of stonework [1]. There was also a small structure next to the main wall with a passage in it [2], now invisible.
