Remains of a probable broch are located on a rocky ridge overlooking Loch Fiart. The outer wall-face is visible on most of the tower's perimeter. A stretch of an intra-mural gallery is visible in western part of the broch. Probable remains of an entrance are located in NE part o the broch.
The site provides a great view of Loch Fiart.
