On the low cliff below the ruined farmstead of Brough, this site is visible on the surface as low shapeless hummocks, but in the cliff-section structures extend along a length of nearly 100m, centred on massively heavy stonework which probably represents a broch. This extensive settlement is suffering steady erosion.
