ND38NW 10 3331 8983

(Area: ND 332 898) A broch is listed (G Petrie 1890) as standing on cultivated land not far to the NE of the farmhouse of Burrowstown (ND 330 897) but no remains of any structure can now be seen.

Although there is no local knowledge of a broch in the area, at ND 3331 8983 there is an amorphous area of disturbed ground, in the corner of a field and unploughable because of a high stone content. It is impossible to classify but it may be the site of a broch.
