ND06 5 KNOCKGLASS 1 ('Knock Glass 1’)
ND/0547 6358
Broch in Halkirk, Caithness, consist-ing of a turf-covered mound 18.5m in diameter and 2m high and standing on a flat-topped knoll [1]; the outer scarp of the mound shows signs of walling. There are suggestions of outer defences and two concentric stretches of curved wallface 2.3m apart, on the south-east and one course high, have been interpreted as parts of the outer face of the broch and of the inner face of the first-floor intra-mural gallery [1].
