NC 03786 26731 (NC02NW 25) An evaluation was undertaken, 1–2 September 2017, as part of the wider Clachtoll Broch Project. The work consisted of a 3 x 1m test pit on the promontory side of Split Rock, Clachtoll.
The test pit uncovered a series of charcoal/organic rich deposits abutting the side of a wall consisting of a foundation course and single surviving upper course of linear/sub-angular sandstone blocks. Two sherds of
decorated Iron Age pottery were found, similar in style to sherds recovered from Clachtoll Broch, suggesting the wall could be Iron Age in date and contemporaneous with the use of the broch.
