Opis

Brochs, roundhouses and wheelhouses are an ill-understood part of Scotland's archaeological heritage even though they are a fairly widespread phenomenon across northern and north-west Sotland and the western and northern islands. This volume is the first part of a project attempting to collate information on these structures and presents a large corpus of data on the buildings and the artefacts that have been found in association with them. The data is presented on an island-by-island and site-by-site basis. Two further sections on the best preserved example, a tower on Mousa in Shetland, and a discussion on the development of broch studies since the 16th century, are also given.
