First thought was an air-raid shelter but not sure of brick construction! so i would guess its a dispersal shelter maybe at Skeabrae Hatston or Twatt dromes?

Inside one of the air raid shelters at Hatston? Or maybe an air raid shelter no at Hatston

Glimpsholm air raid shelter. By chance, I took the same photo this morning but from the opposite end!!

It looks a little "spacious" to be the air raid shelter at Lyness, but could be it.

Dont think it is at hatston as we used to play in them and they were not as clean inside as this one! Added by irene eunson

It looks like an area in the St Magnus Cathedral. Way back in the 60's we were allowed to go all over the place in the cathedral and this reminds me of one of these areas. I could be wrong though!

Thanks for your interest folks. This is the interior of the construction shown in picture #10680

Sandy, picture #10680 is the concrete arched shelter. The brick arched shelter is just visable as a hump behind picture #10680
