Roughtor settlement

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAround the top of the Roughtor hilltop, from Little Rough Tor in the north-east to the main Rough Tor summit in the south-west, can be seen the remains of stone banks encircling the hilltop. In places this stone bank remains very significant, but in other places, particularly on the steeper slopes, it is less significant, probably due to stones falling off and rolling down the hillside amongst all of the other clutter. There are remains of a few cairns and hut circles within this enclosure.

Castle Bloody

Neolithic and Bronze AgeCastle Bloody is a large mound prominently situated on the highest topographic point of southeastern Shapinsay on the island's sole remaining heather moorland. The structure has been described as a Pictish fort or earthen house. Earlier records of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS 1981) classified this site as a chambered cairn and a recent geophysical survey backs up this interpretation.
