ND05 3 TULLOCH OF ACHAVARN ('Achavarn', 'Loch Calder')

ND/0854 5962

Possible broch in Halkirk, Caithness, on the east shore of Loch Calder; the structure has been almost entirely removed [2]. Two low, almost concentric encircling banks surround the site and are the result of a robber trench some 16m in diameter [1]. This suggests that a massive wall has been quarried away.
