Broch, Brough, Fugla Ness. Close to the shore about 350 to 400 yds NE of the croft of Brough, near Fugla Ness, are the remains of a broch, now in a ruinous condition. It was with the greatest difficulty that indications of the outline could be made out, but such details as it was possible to observe have been set down on the plan. The entrance, which is entirely obscured, is believed to have been on the seaward or E side, where there are still traces of two oval-shaped cells within the thickness of the wall. As they are now almost completely filled up with debris, only their tops have been shown on the plan. The main structure was defended by two ramparts with a wide ditch between them, and traces of ‘outbuildings’ could also be seen.
