Abstract:		 The former presence of man is visible everywhere on Papa Stour. Prehistoric homesteads and enclosure lies uncovered across the landscape west of the Dyke Hill showing that far more of the island was under some sort of cultivation at a time of better climatic circumstances. Tumuli, burned mounds, a cremation cemetery, and a chambered cairn on Round Hill provide monumental archaeological evidence of prehistoric populations all over the island. A possible broch (Muckle Heogan) indicates Iron Age populations, as does the 'Erd House' (earth-house') recorded on older maps at Northouse, now completely eroded away. This chapter considers the historical and place-name evidence for settlement on the 'Papar' from before the Norse period right the way through to the 19th century.
