HU41 1 CLEVIGARTH
HU 407129
A probable broch in Dunrossness, on the shore of a rocky inlet. The wall faces are visible and indicate a thickness of about 14 ft.; the overall diameter is about 57.5 ft. so the wall proportion would be about 48.5%. The upper parts of two cells are apparent in the wall on the SW and the lintel of a door in the inside wall face on the north-west. There are traces of many out-buildings (Ill. 4.62).
