The remains of Dun Chealamy stand just a short walk from the Strathnaver road, on a steep grassy mound. The broch is in near total ruin, Canmore stating that it "was badly damaged in a search of stones for building a bridge and a dwelling house" in the early 1900s. There still remain short segments of both internal and external walling several courses deep, and there is an exposed section of a mural gallery which also reveals several courses of architecture.
