HU 522 856. Medieval church site at S side of South Burn of Otterswick, downslope from farm of Newfield. The church itself is unrecognisable, but the site's existence is known locally. The stones have been rebuilt as a yard at some time, c.30 x 40ft. Also a raised area at S side of the yard, perhaps associated with the church. Local name for the site was the Kirk Skjo.
T Watt and I Tait 1996.
