Dun Rodil

Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
Country: Scotland (Isle of Harris)
Visited: Yes on 13th Sep 2015. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Log Text: Walked up from the curve in the road, the way was quite boggy. Didn't stay more than five minutes as it was very rainy and windy, so bad that there was a threat of being blown off the top!
Hard to discern much in the way of structure in the ruins, though there did appear to be a small semi-circular arrangement of stones nearby to the main ruin pile on the top of the hillock.

Log Text: Been up here a couple of times, first in a downpour and the second in the sun! There is an ancient drystane dyke running out of Clachtoll near the broch. The broch itself is a bit of a mess but a good visit all the same.

Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge
Date Added: 26th Feb 2012
Site Type: Henge
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2007. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge submitted by megalithicmatt on 30th Oct 2011. A section of Richard Bradley's excavation (ended Oct 2007) which shows a slightly elongated (8 x 8.5m) circle of post holes abutting the henge and built across the southern avenue line.
Bradley believed these could be evidence of a 'wood henge' since the post holes are larger than those of a conventional hut circle. If so, this would be the most northerly known one in Britain.
