Two towers either round or square set a furlong apart and said to be built of land clearance stones although Batey (1982) doubts this. The more northerly is 6.5m high and the other 5m high and severely damaged on the south side.
Both sites are annotated 'Survey Control Point' on the OS 6" map, Caithness, 1st ed., 1871 but they are not noted in the Name Book.
D MacDonald, A Polson and J Brown 1931; C Batey 1982.
