NG34SW 1.01 3500 4273

The broch (NG34SW 1.00) has been much robbed, doubtless for the large sheep pens immediately to the north.
There are several ruined houses, each with outbuildings and traces of others close by, together with yards and enclosures.
Visited by OS (A S P) 17 May 1961.

An unroofed structure and one enclosure are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire, Isle of Skye 1881, sheet xxviii). This may be the sheep pens referred to by the OS field investigator. One enclosure is shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1992).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 4 November 1996.
