(HU 6285 9003) Knowe of Heog (TI) Tumulus (OE)
O.S.6"map, Shetland, 2nd ed.,(1900).
A prominent hillock some 25' in diameter and 2' in height mostly turf-covered but, apparently, at least partly artificial.
There is no evidence of the period to which it belongs.
RCAHMS 1946. Visited 1930.
A few stones protrude through the turf on the summit of the rocky knoll The Heog, and could be either the remains of an artificial structure or natural.
Visited by OS(RL) 16 May 1969.
Field Visit (9 September 1930)
Mound, Knowe of Heog, Feal. On the highest point of a small but precipitous rocky promontory, known as The Heog, which juts out into the Wick of Tresta on the S. coast of the island, and about a quarter of a mile S. of the Ripple Stone, is a prominent hillock, some 25 ft. in diameter and 2 ft. in height, marked on the O.S. map as a ‘tumulus’ with the name ‘Knowe of Heog’. It is now mostly covered with turf but seems to be at least partly artificial. There is no evidence of the period to which it belongs.
