This probable broch in Lismore and Appin is near the south-west end of the island and stands on the north-east end of a ridge, the steep sides of which give good protection except in the north-east and south-west. The main building is badly ruined and only a few stretches of the outer wallface can be seen. There are clear signs of a 6m length of mural gallery on the west but the inner wallface is largely invisible, a few remaining on the west where the wall thickness is some 4.94. The entrance seems to be in the north-east but only one facing slab can be seen. The remains of an outer wall run round the edge of the summit on the north and north-west and there appears to be a short extension inwards from this to form an extra protection for the entrance.
