LocationClumlie Broch is located in Dunrossness, on the southern part of Mainland, Shetland about 8 kilometres north of Sumburgh Airport.[1] It stands on a low rise on flat arable ground.[2] The broch is at the centre of an abandoned croft,[1] which encroaches upon the ruins.[2] DescriptionThe broch has an external diameter of 21 metres and an internal diameter of about 8 metres.[2] Much of the western side of the site is hidden by a stone dyke, but the entrance passage and a guard cell are visible.[2] The walls currently stand around 2 metres high.[1] ExcavationsClumlie Broch was partially excavated by Gilbert Goudie in 1887, who also restored part of the walling.[2] Goudie discovered a stone cist 75 centimetres above the floor of the broch and concluded that the broch had been used for burials after it had fallen into disuse.[2] Finds included stone implements, quern stones, whetstones, spindle whorls, and hammer stones.[2] There were also many pottery fragments and animal bones, shells, as well as a fragment of a painted Roman bowl.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book |last=Ritchie |first=J N G |date=1998 |title=Brochs of Scotland |publisher=Shire Publications |page=50 |isbn=0747803897}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{Canmore |num=909 |desc=Clumlie |access-date=4 September 2014}} External links{{Commons category inline|Clumlie Broch}}{{Broch}}{{Prehistoric Shetland}} 2 : Brochs in Shetland|Scheduled monuments in Scotland |
