Possib1e broch in Rogart, Sutherland, originally described as a fort [2]. It stands on top of a bluff and consists of an 'inner circular enclosure' with an internal diameter of 9.46m (31ft) and a wall 3.66-4.56m (12-15ft) thick [2]. This stands in an area of the summit enclosed by the remains of a stone wall 1.83-2.14m (6-7ft) thick and measuring 38.43m (126ft) north-south and 29.28m (96ft) east-west. There is a length of extra wall on the east slope which in 1909 still showed parts of its faces. The absence of debris in the interior persuaded the Commission's investigator that the inner enclosure was not a broch.
