with steps down to it and covered with slabs.
It is 5' long by 3' wide and 5'.6" deep and
partly cut out of the rock on one side. There
are also two tanklike constructions formed of
slabs set on edge in the floor one of which measures
3' in length by 2' 4" in width and 1'.6" in depth; and
the other 3'.2" in length by 2'.9" in width & 1'.6" in
depth. The interior court is subdivided into four
sections by secondary partitions of slabs
set on edge. The greatest height of wall
visible in the interior is about 7'.
In front of the main entrance there has
been added a circular court with a diameter
of about 33', the wall of which is partially
founded on the lower courses of the addition
to the thickness of the wall of the broch
and partially on an accumulation of debris
2 1/2' high. Between the broch and the
outer enclosing wall iscontained a
number of outbuildings.

coarse unornamented pottery, a portion
of an armlet of shale, a long handled
comb with five prongs at the toothed end
