Brockan submitted by howar on 23rd May 2004. Brockan settlement
Even on CANMAP this is still down as a chambered tomb. Understandable for the size. But a partial excavation found two chambers each with a short passage leading to a common paved stone-walled enclosure (I am reminded that at least one beehive structure used to reside in Breck Farm's stackyard). So CANMORE says present thinking is a secondary broch settlement or a small Skara Brae type village. Despite, or perhaps because of, the proximity of both Warebeth and Breckness I don...

Log Text: Access to the stones was restricted as the path close to them had been heavily worn, so we had to use a path slightly further away.

The owner lives at Kirkland Farm and seemed happy for me to vi...
