Broch, near Brough Lodge. A modern tower has been erected on the spot where this broch is believed to have stood. Low (Tour, 166) records that it was "situate on the top of a small hill; the walls entirely in ruins; without any outworks as its situation did not require them," and he adds, ‘Near this last in a moss were found, wrapt in a raw hide, six pieces of cast brass of a very singular figure, the workmanship fine; seemingly designed for fetters. Three of them were jointed, the other three whole’.
