Reay. Standing Stones Broubster Village (39 & 40)
On the moor to the Eastwards of the ruined croft
of Aultan and about 3/4 m. [mile] ENE [East North East] of Broubster Village
are two standing stones about ? 120 yds. [yards] (see O.S. [Ordnance Survey]) distant
from each other. The Southmost stone measures
3'.10" in height, 2' in breadth and 8" in thickness.
It faces ENE [East North East] and WSW. [West South West] and is pointed towards
the upper end. The second stone stands to
the Northwards (due N. magc. [North magnetic]) and faces N. [North] and S [South].
It measures 4'.6" in height, 2'.1" in breadth 1'.1" in
thickness at base decreasing to 7" upwards. There
are no stones visible as parts of a setting anywhere
between these two monoliths.

Standing stones. Aultan Broubster. (38)
About 100 yds [yards] SW. [South West] of the ruined croft of Aultan and
1/2 ENE [East North East] of Broubster Village is a standing stone measuring
4' in height above ground, 2'.4" in breadth and
10" in thickness. It faces E [East] and W. [West] and is
pointed towards the upper end. In its
immediate vicinity are several other slabs
apparently set on end protruding to a less
degree above ground. They are, however, irregu:
:larly placed and it is doubtful if
they have formed part of a prehistoric setting of
stones. The adjacent ground has been under
cultivation.
