| Abstract: |
In contrast with many of the duns in Skye this example is only slight elevated. The interior was completely filled by fallen masonry all of which was removed. The main entrance is flanked by projecting masonry, and guard chambers either side. The diameter is 174 feet and the surviving height of the broch is 29 feet. Artefacts included a necklace of amber beads, a steatite armlet, a quernstone, a whetstone, animal bone, decorated pottery and a lot of iron slag. |
