Knowe of Angerow and ‘companion’ from previous field
looking across depression to other ‘hump’ by knowe
Knowe of Angerow seen from corner of field to NE
view of knowe with Lochs of Skaill and Clumly behind left and right respectively
Knowe of Crustan barrow and mound, L & R of photo respectively
Knowe of Crustan frae old Windbreck track at field’s eastern edge
unreported (to RCAHMS leastways) third mound further along ridge yet
north side of mound 1/’A’ from track to Skipi Geo
south side of mound 1/’A’ from inside field
detail of walling on north side of mound 1/’A‘
looking across stone spread to Point of Buckquoy 1/’A’ same field
sharp wall, destruction layer, cairn remains ?
exposed areas at tip of Point with possible orthostat – a ‘real’ archaeologist told me the flat bits look likely too. Let’s hope the equinoctial storms don’t take it away anytime soon.
Despite all the recent heavy storms, inc. a sub-hurricane, it survives. So apart from the 1.3x0.65m sticking out there must be much of the slab in the mound.
looking across larger depression landward, earthfast stone visible
mound from other side of ?marshy area past nousts
alternative site found at Nether Scapa, stock in field makes further investigation unsafe at present (pre-dates and outwith agricultural improvement, runs diagonally)
inside of other passage, big enought to crouch through, with collapse in far distance
rim of broch mound with Grandag bay behind
view across top of unexcavated half from fence
back of Maes Howe appears to echo hilltop at rear left of frame
