indicated on the O. S. [Ordnance Survey] map at the mouth of the
Burn of Rattar.

Scarfskerry (7)
On a short promontory rock about 1/2 m. [mile] to the
W. [West] of Scarfskerry Post Office are the fragmentary
remains of a structure, probably a broch.
The building has occupied the whole of
the outer end of the promontory now some 30' in
breadth but the crumbling of the rock has
considerably curtailed its dimensions. The
whole is overgrown with grass and no part
of the structure is visible. Across the
landward end of the promontory a trench
has been dug.

two slabs protrude which may have formed
the ends of a long cist. The building is
not correctly oriented
