A ruined broch located on the shores of Loch Tuath, Mull. It is 11 metres in diameter and comprises a mound of stones rising perhaps 1.5 metres. The RCAHMS archeology notes give the grid reference incorrectly with the almost identical Eastings and Northings reversed. The site is 200 metres from the road accessed by climbing across a fixed gate opposite the southernmost house in Ballygown.
