From there another road leads down to the A970 on the east side of the Hill. There is a broch (Iron Age fort) just North of Scousburgh, behind Rhu-allen , Bremire Crofthouse (traditional Shetland farm) South of Scousburgh and eleven horizontal 19th century cereal water mills alongside the Burn of Scousburgh that have been designated as scheduled monuments by Historic Environment Scotland.
