Southtown (Burray), St Lawrence Church

Broch

Fieldnotes

Visited 3.6.12

The church is within a ‘dip’ and there was a short stretch of walling to be seen (4 course high) but I do not know if this is anything to do with the broch or more recent stonework?

The church itself is an overgrown ruin although the graveyard is well maintained.

Built onto the side of the church is a derelict shed with an asbestos roof which I kept well away from!

There are really good coast views from the church and a lovely looking beach to the north.

The Fossil Museum is not far away and worth a visit. They have a very good café.
