Field Visit (11 June 2010)
About 110m S of Da Broch, in an area of very stony pasture, there is a series of conjoined stone-walled enclosures and pens which probably relates to the management of sheep. The complex is depicted, albeit in a less well developed form, on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Shetland 1882, sheet XLVII).
