ND/1865 3260
Probable broch in Latheron, Caith-ness, consisting of a mound 3m (10ft) high with, on the south side, a stretch of curved wallface 3m (10ft) long and 60-90cm (2-3ft) high. Against this wallface can be seen part of an outer casing wall 90cm thick [1]. Some forty human skulls were said to have been found here many years before 1910, but no contemporary record of the discovery is known.
