Archaeoptics scan Mousa Broch by Andy B on Tuesday, 04 January 2005

Mystery of ancient broch unlocked after 2000 years

A TEAM of archaeologists has helped unlock 2000-year-old secrets of an ancient tower described as one of the wonders of European archaeology.
Mousa Broch, located on the island of Mousa in Shetland, is one of the finest examples of an Iron Age tower or broch.
The impressive structure was used as a fortification when the islands were racked by warfare but was also mentioned in the sagas as an eloping lovers' hideout.
Experts used the latest laser scanning techniques to record every detail of the historic monument and check whether it has shifted or deteriorated over the years.
