OS 1:10,000 map, (1976)

Broch, Stemster: OS map indicates on Greenhill to E of Stemster and beside the burn, supposed site of a fort. From info received in the district it is clearly site of a broch, of which no measurable remains exist.
RCAHMS 1911.

At ND 3691 7194 are remains of a possible broch in form of a grass-covered, stony mound containing traces of walling now greatly mutilated by a silage pit which has been dug through its centre.
Resurveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (R D) 25 February 1965.

There is little doubt that this is remains of a broch although no structural details can be seen. A trench 8m wide has been bulldozed N-S through centre, destroying much of structure, but footings of W arc probably survive under turf-covered tumble. The name 'Green Hill' is still known locally.
Surveyed at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (A A) 10 March 1972.

The mutilated broch remains are as described above. Overall mound measures 31m N-S by 23m. Extra-mural settlement is strongly suggested on W side by tumbled stone.
