rises on the W. [West] side of the high road
about 1/2 m. [mile] N. [North] of Dunbeath are the mere

A short distance W. [West] of the high road

road bridge at Latheronwheel on the
top of a rock are the remains of a broch
overgrown with grass. The diameter
of the structure is not accurately as:
:certainable without excavation but
it seems to be about 57'. The elevation
is about 7'. A small portion of wall
is exposed on the NE. [North East]. Along the
rock towards the E. [East] there appear to be
the remains of outbuildings.
Chambered Cairn - Remains. (89)
About 1/2 m. [mile] SE. [South East] of Latheronwheel House,
and situated by the side of an old

The chamber has been entered from the

are recognisable by the division stones.
