 The Scord of Brouster is a Neolithic settlement containing several oval houses and interlinked field walls.
The largest house measures 16-1/2x23 feet and contains a central hearth surrounded by cells divided by orthostats. The house is represented by an oval, grass-covered bank. A gap in the southeast of the bank represents an entrance passage. Other features of the settlement include a circular cairn and two other identifiable dwellings.
