NC91 2 BALVALICH ('Balvalaich') NC/9452 1898
Possible broch in Kildonan, Sutherland, situated in an undefended position on the open, sloping side of the Strath. It consists of a quarried heap of stones in which most of the inner and outer faces can be discerned. There may be a short outer defensive turf and stone wall, or hornwork, on the north-west side but the identity of the feature is uncertain [2].
Dimensions: the inner diameter is about 9.0m[1] or 8.7m north-south [2]; the wall varies in thickness from 4.0 - 4.4m [2].
