This was considered to be a natural mound until excavated in 1976-7. It stands just South of A811 Kippen to Buchlyvie road.
The excavation found a broch of diameter 19m with walls over 5 metres thick. Roman finds suggest a date of 1st-2nd Century AD.
For more information see Canmore ID 44651 which has extensive notes of an excavation in 2007, together with radiocarbon dating and a list of finds. They add that this may well have been in use in the Iron Age.
