Full Description

The monument known as Thrumster, settlement beside Burn of Swartigill comprises the remains of a late prehistoric settlement, of the type locally known as a 'wag', on the N aide of the burn. The settlement takes the form of a low mound about 20m across, in the top of which are visible the remains of solidly constructed drystone wall footings, perhaps for turf buidlings.
