Caisteal Grugaig, late 1st millennium bc. Truncated cone of a broch hidden in forestry above a burn, its huge masonry slabs beautifully coursed in a great ferny ring. Steps lead up to an entrance passage (still with bar holes), approached under a massive, pediment shaped lintel. The guard's chamber, and a portion of the mural stairway and cells, are still evident. Excavated/cleared out 1889.
