This probable broch or defended homestead is in Tongue, Sutherland. In 1909 a large gravel mound, some 12.2m (40ft) high on the side towards the river, was found to have the remains of a circular building on its summit. Its diameter was about 15.86m (52ft). Around its base was a deep ditch 7.3m (24 f t) across with a causeway across it on the south-east side [2]. In 1971 it was classified as a defended homestead by the Archaeology Division of the O.S. [1].
