(ND 0760 2979) Carn Fhionn (NR)

OS 6" map, (1963)

"'Carn Fhionn', Braemo , which is said to have been a broch, has been completely removed."

RCAHMS 1911, visited 1910.

A low, mutilated, grass-covered mound with several large stones protruding: possibly the remains of a cairn. The mound merges into a natural slope on the S, and has a maximum height of 1.0m on the N. It measures approximately 10.0m N-S by 7.2m transversely. The large stone marked 'A' on sketch is 1.3m long by 0.2m wide and 0.5m high. A mutilated grassy area on the opposite side of the farm road seems to have been part of the site. The large stones on the W side of the fence form part of the footings of a rectangular building.

Visited by OS (W D J) 20 June 1960.

There are no intelligible remains of this mound. A deep hole dug in its centre for drainage purposes reveals a mainly earthen content.

Visited by OS (N K B) 21 March 1968.
