Log Text: This rounded hillock lies within Newtonmore's Highland Folk Museum. The site is free to access. One lower side of the hillock has been truncated by the railway. The top is flattened off with the vague outline of a building on top out of which trees are growing. There are some exposed stones on the east side of the hill but otherwise nothing obvious left to indicate this once had a cairn and standing stones.

It is reported to have been of a conical shape within the memory of persons living ; but that the Btones which formed the apex have been carried away by the poor people to assist them in building their cot tages.

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.

Clach na h'Annait submitted by kelpie on 27th Jul 2002. This standing stone appears in a field just off the road to Elgol. Apparently there is little known of its history or why it bears a connection to Annait on the other side of the island. NG 58954 20295
