Full Description
Tulloch Turnal (NAT) Broch (NR)
OS 6"map, (1964)
Broch, 'Tulloch Turnal': About 2 miles W of Langwell House, on the S side of the road to Wag, are the ruins of a large circular construction, probably a broch. It is much dilapidated and the stones of which it was built have been mostly removed. The over all diameter is some 48 to 50ft; only the two lowest courses of large stones are visible in places and no features of interest are apparent.
RCAHMS 1911, visited 1910.
As described above: the mutilated remains of a broch. The outer facing wall, 15.5m in diameter, is still traceable, but inner is not.
There are indications of a ditch on the E side between the road and the embankment, but not on the W side. Adjacent to the broch are the footings of a depopulated settlement.
