[Margin] O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 38.

Of the broch which formerly existed here
practically nothing remains the stones having
been removed to build cottages and dykes in
the neighbourhood. It was situated on the
end of the slope of the hill side between
the Allt-an-Duin and the Frithe on the
top of the banks overlooking the haughs by
the river. On the W. [West] it had been protected by
a ditch 24' across running to the edge of the
bank and a parallel rampart beyond it.

group a few turf formed hut circles of
simple type. One entering from SE. [South East] measures
36' x 43'. Its banks are much worn down.
Some 200 yds. [yards] NW. [North West] is another similar. Some
