Broch in Dumfries and Galloway. This broch, known as Teroy Fort, stands on a rocky prominence about 120 feet long by 70 feet broad protected on the ENE end by a trench some 26 ft broad from crest to crest, 9 - 10 feet across the bottom: 10 feet deep from the top of the scarp and 3-4 feet below the counterscarp.
The broch has been excavated and reduced almost to the foundations but had walls about 12ft 8ins in thickness with the interior court of 29ft diameter. The entrance was in the ENE, or higher end of the hillock, 16 feet back from the top of the scarp of the ditch, with the guard chamber on the west of the entrance. The greatest height of wall visible was 2ft 4ins but more than one third of the periphery wall has been entirely removed.
