HY42NW 13 4006 2745.
(HY 4006 2745) Knowe of Burrian (NAT)
Broch (NR) (remains of)
OS 1:10,000 1977
A considerable portion of this knoll has been carried away by the sea, and it has also suffered severely through quarrying. Isolated pieces of masonry can be seen along the shore and these are sufficiently characteristic to prove that the structure has been a broch. On the landward side fallen stones are heaped up in a confused mass making any estimation of dimensions impossible. A hammer-stone was picked up on the site.
RCAHMS 1946. Visited 1928.
The remains of a broch of which little stonework is visible. The N arc is represented by a curving grassy mound about 2.0 m high.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS(ISS) 9 October 1972.
