Monument record MHG1140 - Broch, Rhemullen

Broch (NR) (remains of) OS 1:10,000 map, (1979)

About 1/4 mile NW of the Bridge of Rhemullen is a grassy knoll on which are the foundations of numerous compartments of a complex structure. The protruding stones and slabs suggest that it has been of the galleried type, but its plan is quite indefinite. On the W, at the edge of the hillock, there is exposed a portion of wall about 4ft in height which suggests a broch, but there are no other indications of such a structure, and it is possibly the outer wall of a galleried dwelling.
RCAHMS 1911. <1>

A short stretch of curved drystone walling at W edge of a hummocky mound, 19m diameter, is all that remains of what is undoubtedly a broch. To SE of mound are several upright stones and slabs in disturbed ground, indicating a probable associated settlement.

A turf-covered, level-topped, disturbed mound, 19m in diameter by 1.3m high, in NW edge of which is a course of stones indicating a portion of outside face of a broch. There are indications of adjacent structures on S side of broch mound, but these are too vague for measurable details. There are considerable sections of consumption walling in the region of the site.
