About 1/4 m. [mile] S.E. [South East] from Killimster farm is a
grassy mound which has been partially ex:
:cavated and in which the ruins of a broch
are partially exposed. About one half of the
inner periphery of the structure has been
cleared on either side of the entrance and
the passage has been partially cleared out.
The entrance has been from the W. [West] along
an outer passage curving from the S. [South] still
visible for 15' in length outside the broch.
On the right of this outer passage 3'.6" distant
from the broch is a check for a door faced
with a thin slab and on the same side,
immediately adjoining the broch, is an entrance
to a passage or chamber 2'.6" wide. Outside
the check this outer passage is 2'.10" wide
within it is 4' wide. The passage through
