Log Text: Used to live in Insch so I could see the hill every day! Great walk up to the top and I like looking out for the old post hole in the vitrified wall on the north side.

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: The dun itself is not very recognisable until you're on top of it. There's a small stone shelter in the trees behind it (using stones robbed from the site?). Igneous dykes cut through the promontory offering a form of natural barrier defence to the north.
Fantastic views out into Torrin bay and the loch.
Duddo Five Stones
Date Added: 26th Feb 2012
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes on 8th Apr 2005. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Duddo Five Stones submitted by kelpie on 16th May 2004. Stone circle in Northumberland at NT931437. There was no obvious path to the stones apart from through the crops so I took the shot from a distance. Burl believes that few if any of these stones are in their original positions but have probalby been re-erected through the years.

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.
