Some 80 yards to the SE of Carrol Broch (NC80NW 1) "a shallow weem-like structure, 8ft in diameter at top, and with well-built wall, occurs in the face of the terrace, and from this a deep trench runs northwards for about 30 yards. Some animal bones were found here, and two chert scrapers."
J M Joass 1873.
The weem-like structure and trench are still visible although the walling is almost obscured by grass. The trench running NE from it is still apparent and is also visible running towards the bank of the Allt Coire Aghaisgeig on the SW.
