coming from the exterior the steps growing narrower from
3'.10" in width at the bottom step to 2'.6" at the highest.
At a distance of 17' round to the left from the
inner end of the entrance passage was the opening
to a chamber in the thickness of the wall now
ruinous. This entrance was 2'.3" in width, & 4' in
height and gave access to an oblong chamber
12' in length, 4' in width, and nearly 7' in height.
Directly opposite the entrance on the interior is also the entrance
to a chamber 2'.9" wide, the chamber itself not
now measurable. Two curved walls of
secondary construction roughly divided
the interior area into segments.
There were found in this broch the cup

oval vessel of sandstone with a rudely
hollowed cavity measuring 6" by 4", and
several quern stones.
