 According to an observer at the Megalithic Portal, the Knowe of Stenso "is a 4m (approximately 13 foot) high broch with extensive structural remains showing as orthostats between the main broch and the outer bank to the south. Area covered is fifty by ten yards according to a 1916 report. At least as late as 1928 traces of a foot wide gallery were seen at the top of the mound...On the north side, several courses of the broch wall, probably 12 feet thick, can be seen...".
