Possible broch in Halkirk, Caith-ness, standing on the summit of a grassy hillock about 46.0m in diameter and 4.0m high which may be partly artificial. There are no wallfaces visible but the site looks like a classic example of a broch mound on top of a flat platform [1], although this feature was not seen by Swanson, possibly because of dense vegetation [3].
