Broch in Lewis
This is one of the best preserved of all brochs and a part of the wall still stands to a height of 30' and illustrates clearly the technique of building the outer and inner wall faces with a median gallery.
The wall is 11' thick surrounding a 25' diameter courtyard. The doorway on the NW side is still substantially intact and there is a guard cell which is entered through the S wall of the entrance passage. There are 3 other chambers within the thickness of the wall one of which gives access to a stair leading to the galleries. The scarcement is 7' above the ground and is formed by the corbelling of the lower part of the wall.

by Anonymous on Thursday, 29 November 2007 | | This is one of my favourite places in the Hebrides, spectacular, beautiful, and you can even climb up the staircases. Never fails to impress. | [ Reply to This ]
