entrance under a large rock is the entrance
to an underground passage apparently
natural. At its commencement about 2'
wide and 3' high it passes inwards in a
Southerly direction for about 13' then turning
sharply to the right runs onward for 18' or
20' more with a width of some 15".

[Margin] Unnoted.

Towards the S. [South] end of Loch Brora about 1 m. [mile]
SE. [South East] of the Carril broch and some 300 yds. [yards] W. [West]
of the road on a slight knoll which stands
out green among the heather are the remains
of a broch. It is much overgrown with
vegetation and in no place is the face
of the inner wall visible. The diameter
over all has been 58'. The entrance seems
to have been from the E. [East] . On the right
or N. [North] of what is presumed to be the position
of the entrance passage are signs of a
chamber with suggestions of another on
the S. [South] side. Slightly to the S. [South] of a point
directly opposite the entrance are remains
of another chamber. The height of the
mound formed by the ruins is about

width has extended round about 1/4 of
the circumference of the broch from NE. [North East] to
