Archaeology Notes

HU25SE 86 2772 5039

Two unroofed structures are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Orkney & Shetland (Shetland) 1882, sheet xlvii), but they are not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1973).

Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 24 May 2001

Activities

Field Visit (12 June 2010)

The two unroofed structures previously noted were probably planticrubs. Nothing is now visible of the westerly example (HU25SE 264) but the easterly survives as low footings measuring approximately 4m square overall.

Visited by RCAHMS (GB) 12 June 2010.
