Broch (NAT) (remains) OS 1:10000 map (1971)
The remains of a broch, now an absolute ruin. Only outer face of the wall is visible intermittently, but a chamber has been partially exposed in east side and the existence of another, in north, is indicated. What may be the entrance passage is visible, through a small aperture in front of a roofing slab, on the east. The diameter of the structure is not measurable without excavation. On the west, in the direction of the slope, the ruin is about 12ft high, but it is considerably less on the east.
RCAHMS 1911, visited 1909.
The broch is generally as described. It is a spread, rubble mound about 25m. in diameter. The possible entrance passage is in the SE. The end of a third mural chamber is now exposed.
Visited by OS (E G C) 27 June 1963.
No change. Visited by OS (J B) 1 October 1980.
