NB45 2 LOCH BARAVAT
NB/462597
This probable broch in Barvas, Lewis, stands on the larger of two islands in Loch Baravat and is reached by a causeway. In the middle of the 19th century no part of the wall could be seen [1] but a little later Thomas drew a plan of a structure with a galleried wall and reported that there was "6 or 8 ft of it remaining"; he classified the site as a broch [2]. By 1914 the site was completely wrecked [3].
