Burra Ness Broch

Burra Ness Broch (grid reference HU55729572) is situated 2.6 kilometres south of the small village of Gutcher on the tip of the headland of Burra Ness.

[2] Internally a "scarcement" ledge to support an upper floor is visible some 4 metres above the ground.

[2] There are traces of outbuildings towards the north, south and southeast, and slight indications of surrounding ramparts.
