Notice of Excavations at Stenabreck and Howmae, in North Ronaldsay, Orkney
The Mound of Stenabreck is situated in North Konaldsay, the most northerly of the Orkney Isles (known, I daresay, to many members of this Society as the island in which the Broch of Burrian was discovered). It is about a mile N.N.E. from Burrian, and like it, situated close to the sea-shore
Notice of Two Cists on the Farm of Antabreck, North Ronaldsay, Orkney
Two stone cists were recently found at the farm of Antabreck, in the island of North Eonaldsay, Orkney. The farm is not nearer to the sea than three-quarters of a mile. The field where the cists were found consists of a clay loam, sufficiently impervious to moisture to have kept the interior of the cists remarkably free from water or other extraneous substances
Results of Excavations at the Broch of Burrian, North Ronaldshay, during the Summers of 1870 and 1871
[The journal notes that this paper will be published in the Archaeologia Scotica.]

The paper then focuses on William Watt’s excavations at Skara Brae, including some features of the structures and some of the finds unearthed o…
