Broch of Dalsetter, Parish: Dunrossness. A ruined broch, surviving as a mound of rubble, this broch is noted for its outer defenses consisting of two ramparts and a wide ditch between them. In the top of the broch mound there is a depression containing a small rectangular single cell structure. A short length of facing stones of the presumed outer face of the broch are visible on the south side of the mound, following a similar curvilinear alignment to these stones is a green depression, presumably a robber trench where the rubble mound has been dug into to remove the facing stones for reuse.
