The 1977 excavation in Shetland of typical examples of an oval stone house, burnt mound, and field system, is reported on. The findings, including the dates — have implications for the elucidation of Shetland's prehistory, and are discussed. The assemblages of crude stone implements and quartz were specially collected and studied and the conclusions are innovatory. The survey of Burra Isle published in GAJ 11 (Hedges 1984) was complementary to the excavation
