Carn a' Chladha is undoubtedly a broch. It is now visible as a grass-covered stony mound 3.0m maximum height and about 21m in diameter, on flat top of a larger mound 4m maximum height and 36m in diameter, which is probably part-natural. A berm varying in width from 1-3.5m separates the top of the slopes of the inner broch mound from the bottom of slopes of outer mound for almost the whole of the circumference. It is mutilated on E side by quarrying. One course of dry- stone walling, 3.7m long, is discernible in the S arc of the inner mound.
