HU/400147
A probable broch in Dunrossness, standing near the edge of cliffs and in a dilapidated condition. Few of the structural features can be made out. The entrance passage is on the SW and has three lintel stones in position. The internal diameter is about 27 ft. and the wall about 15 ft. thick: thus the wall proportion may be about 52.6%. There is a possible opening in the inner wall face in the inner wall face in the north segment. There are numerous traces of outbuildings and a good natural harbour is close by.
