Description: | Label (handwritten round serrated): "884/21" Burroughstone Broch?, Shapinsay, Orkney, Scotland MANU unknown Stone lamp of IA type, oval, protrusion for nose, shallow flat bottomed scoop (oil pan), smaller slightly concave shallow scoop at nose (overlapping other) (wick holder), base flat, sides flat, curved at bottom.
This object may be from Burroughstone broch, Shapinsay at HY/540210; excavated by Petrie (RCAHMS 1946, 2 No.778; Dryden 1890, pp.81-4). Not clear why the lamp attributed to Shapinsay (RC) but if so seems probable that Cursiter obtained it from the broch.
