Via Barrow

Approaching Via from Brodgar today I noticed just before the Via B&B a large chunk of stone with a reddish cast in parts. Over the way is what used to be a fair size quarry so it might be simply one that got away. Then on my way back I took another look at the dip that it was in, and seeing the rise against Via thought “ha-ha, settlement mound”. Looked it up on Canmore and found that in the 19th century a cist (since gone) was found in this barrow. So where that ‘boulder’ lies is perhaps the scar of excavation.
