Applies to an object that simply presents the appearance of a green mound, but is supposed by the authorities given, and others without many doubts, to have been a Pict's dwelling. The oval shape of the mound is rather deformed on account of some of the inhabitants of the island (led (?) through curiosity to know the nature of the interior) having removed the loose stones and rubbish in several places, leaving in view in the places opened, what appears to be a circular wall some three or four feet in
thickness and inside a circle of about 38 feet in diameter, apparently filled up with the stones and rubbish that constructed the roof: This object is situated near the seashore and about an eigth of a mile northwest of Northfield also on the property of the Right Hon. the Earl of Zetland.

Concerning this building, in the Hand Book to the Orkney Islands it states:- A few minutes' walk east of the landing place and Close to the Sea Shore, is an "old Brough", which, until a Comparatively recent date, presented simply the appearance of a green mound on the Burray Shore of Holm Sound, but Some years ago it was opened, and may now be inspected by visitors. Inside the building is a circle, about 40 feet in diameter, the walls being composed of flat Stones placed one above the other, but without mortar or cement of any kind. At the foundation the wall is from 15 to 20 feet thick, while the loose stones and rubbish composing the mound makes the diameter to be from 85 to 100 feet.
In the wall, and directly in front of the door is a small aperture, about three feet high, formed by two Stones placed upright with other two |

two laid across as lintels, not unlike a window in the wall of a modern house. This leads to a chamber in the thickness of the wall, about 6 feet high ten feet long and 4 feet wide. The roof is constructed of large flat stones projecting inwards. Nearer the door there is another chamber in the wall exactly similar, only it has two openings, one into the central part of the building, and the other into the passage or doorway. There is no appearance of a window in the whole edifice, and it seems as if, in its original condition, the only light admitted was through the door, which is not more than 5 feet high by 3 feet wide. The great antiquity of the building appears from the fact of the builders not having known the principle of the arch. The probability is that it has existed for two thousand years, possible some centuries more and that it belongs to the Stone period of Archaeologists.
On account of the ruinous Condition of the Structure since the above was compiled the Chamber described (although still existing) Cannot be so well defined. On the east side of the building and close to the door there is an under-ground Chamber or Cellar, the floor which is on a level with the foundation of the main building is about ten feet Square and the height of the Chamber six feet. From this Chamber there is an underground passage leading through the door into the main building. The masonry of the main building which is of a circular form raises perpendicular to the height of about 20 feet and is thoroughly fortified on the outside by ramparts of earth and loose stones: there is also a Stone Stair in the South-west Side of the building leading from the foundation of the inner Circle to the top of the perpendicular wall. It is the general belief of the Authorities given that this building was a place of refuge used by the ancient inhabitants of the island for Concealing themselves and their Cattle from their enemies. |

NOTE
In cases where the names in this Book differ from the spelling given by the local Authorities, the Shetland form for similar Norse names was adopted and approved by Captain Macpherson, and I afterwards had all the names of this Parish re-Submitted when finally examining the Haus of Orkney.
