OS 6" map, Shetland, 2nd ed., (1903).
No remains of a broch are visible but the name 'Scousburgh' is significant.
RCAHMS 1946, visited 1930.
Building operations about 1956, although not revealing any stonework, exposed a cist or hearth with whorls, steatite fragments etc., in the outer area, and also a biconical rubbing stone similar to those found in a Caithness wag and in Iron Age levels at Bunyie Hoose (HU56NE 5).
J Stewart 1956.
There is no evidence of a broch to be seen here. The position, a high rocky knoll, is un-broch-like, and the area of the top of the knoll is now hardly big enough to have sustained a broch. The artifacts, in Lerwick Museum, were found at HU 3772 1784.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (RL) 10 May 1968.
