Megalithicmatt visited on 13th Sep 2015 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Walked up from the curve in the road, the way was quite boggy. Didn't stay more than five minutes as it was very rainy and windy, so bad that there was a threat of being blown off the top!
Hard to discern much in the way of structure in the ruins, though there did appear to be a small semi-circular arrangement of stones nearby to the main ruin pile on the top of the hillock.
Remains of a broch of 13,7 m diameter, previously indentified as a dun. The internal diameter of the tower is 6,1 m.
