NC 6973 6097 During a field visit with members of CSA Summer School in 2007 it was noted that the core of the
flanking wall to the SW of the broch contains a substantial mass of well vitrified stone, apparently embedded below non-vitrified wall material. This seems to have been created in situ rather than imported as construction material. Inspection of the slopes below the broch revealed only small quantities of this material, suggesting the vitrified portion may only recently have become exposed, perhaps through visitor erosion.
