Castle Bloody

Castle Bloody souterrain - rock construction is not part of the souterrain.

Castle Bloody is a prehistoric feature on the island of Shapinsay, Orkney, Scotland. Hogan observes that while the feature is marked as a chambered mound^[1] on the UK Ordnance Survey map, the structure is more properly and specifically classified as a souterrain or earth house.^[2] Slightly to the north is located the ruined historic Linton Chapel.
