ND 2529 3597. 'The Tullochs', a mound and structures, one of which may be a broch.
The mound, 14 by 20m, is generally amorphous, with very large stones visible, may be the remains of a broch. Traces of masonry on the upper surface could indicate a later structure.
To the N and W are two rectangular structures, 14 by 7m and 30 by 9m, represented by grass-covered ridges; and an enclosure 48 by 48m with a grass-covered wall.
