For Warsetter Farmhouse (HY 6288 3775) and associated buildings, see HY63NW 44.00.

A 19th century dovecot, still intact. An armorial stone of the Sinclairs, dated 1613 is inside. The dovecot is built on the remains of a mound of uncertain purpose, which Mr Mackay, headmaster of Sanday school believes to have been a Norse beacon stance, but it is in a good position for a cairn.

Visited by OS, 8 July 1970.
