HY50 7 TANKERNESS 1 ('Howie of the Manse')

HY/514090

Possible broch in St Andrews and Deerness, a grassy mound situated on a short promontory near the south end of the Loch of Tankerness. Traces of many stones have been seen, and a midden on the NW arc [2]. There are suggest-ions of outbuildings close by on the landward side, traces of what looks like double defensive wall or rampart across the neck of the promontory.
