Ruins of Feranach broch are located near Kildonan, two miles from River Helmsdale. The broch is in good condition, it has an entrance opened to the west followed by the passage which is up to 1,19 m wide. The main chamber has five intra-mural cells, largest of which can be classified as a gallery. The guard cell is of 1,83 x 1,53 m dimensions. There are no visible remains of outbuildings around the broch.
