HY33 2 NORTH HOWE

HY/37043074

A possible broch on Rousay, the much pillaged remains of a stone building which stand about 300 m NW of Midhowe and about 100 m from the rocky coast. Traces of an outer wall face are visible for a length of c. 12 m along the NW arc [1]. There are suggestions of out-buildings. Three potsherds from the site are in the National Museum [3].
