HY50 9 BACKLAND ('Quoyburing', Howie o' Backland')
HY/58040402
Possible broch in St. Andrews and Deerness consisting of an irregular mound up to 3 m high. A trial trench dug into it by Dr D Brothwell is said to have revealed a curved wall some 3 m high but the location of this trench is uncertain. There are traces of an outer ditch on the north-west.
