Description

The remains lie in salt marsh on a small, inundated holm which projects into South Voe. Within the marshy area there is a slight rise upon which the footings of an oval structure are defined by several large orthostats. The structure measures 9m by 7m and the average stone size is 0.75m by 0.5m. There are also adjoining stretches of walling, some of which are now submerged. This is interpreted as the remains of a house with associated field system. 21 May 2015 As described. East side defined by a low earth bank with orthostats.
