broch tower remains and W side of broch in cliff section
looking from modern entrance onto cairn features opposite original entrance passage
The Burrian with Knowe of Ham(m)ar burnt mound in background
ferry view of settlement mound/s
E/W profile viewed from Blackhammer Cairn, showing wall arc in western part. Could the broch have been built over a settlement dating back to the era of the tomb ? Strikes me the tombs divvy up Rousay better than the brochs
platform continues west from field containing broch tower and is thought to survive better as land too rough to be cultivated
can’t fail to spot mini Maes Howe shaped mound by final zig-zagging road to Banks (could be part of a larger one with lower longer one alongside) and yet there is no record of it !
viewed from Redland road on hillside above
The Ouse, a tidal inlet, in foreground and Bay of Firth behind broch

from Sands of Evie, with Vinquin Broch on skyline in far distance
Oyce mounds from outskirts of Norseman Village
possible mound nearby
northernmost of mounds with what looks to be a rather deep ditch – for ths or whole barrow cemetery ??
entrance passage – there appears to be a slight kink or bend in the right-hand wall. Thanks to Hamish for letting me publish these and I hope I haven’t mistaken W for E !
looking along central passage from W chamber to E chamber
view across entrance to cell (? S2) – the bottom centre stone looks to have grooves
unexplored, the latest found cell was under the lintel of the entrance passage
