Update October 2019: This site is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Broughwhin I, where SandyG carried out recent surveys. His entry includes a description of the row, a plan of the row with its associated cairn, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, plus access information.
The row is also recorded as Canmore ID 9019, which tells us: "The remains of a cairn, much dilapidated and overgrown with heather, lie on the top of a low ridge, some 80 yds east of the north end of Broughwhin Loch … Very little is now visible of the stone rows that lay on the slope below the cairn to the SSW".
The Highland HER also includes a record for this site - see MHG2185 (Cairn & Stone Rows, Broughwhin Loch).
