Dun Gearymore, a broch, as described and planned. An outwork around the broch consists of a stone wall which has been almost destroyed in the NE by later buildings. Elsewhere the outer face can be traced intermittently and although no inner face is evident, the extent of wall core visible suggests a thickness of c. 2.6m.
To the N of the broch are four denuded circular stone-walled huts (A-D), each showing an intermittent inner face of stones on edge, but with no definite outer face evident although the spread of debris suggests a wall thickness in each case of about 1.5m. No entrances are evident. 'A' is 6.5m in internal diameter; 'B' is 8.0m, and'C' is 6.5m. The N arc of hut 'C' overlies the outwork. 'D' is mutilated and obscured by deep heather but appears to measure c. 6.0m internal diameter.
Visited by OS (A S P) 11 May 1961 and (I S S) 18 October 1971.
