The monument consists of a broch with a closely associated
settlement. The surviving remains of the broch consist of a turf- covered, level-topped mound, 19m in diameter and 1.3m high. In the NW edge of the mound there is a length of wall one course high which is part of the outer face of the broch wall. The broch is in the centre
of a more extensive mound about 49m NW-SE by 41m NE-SW. There are
faint traces of archaeological structures in this mound and it
appears to represent the remains of a settlement associated with the broch.
The area to be scheduled measures 80m NW-SE by 75m NE-SW, to include
the broch and the associated settlement. The remains of a post
medieval house lie just to the SW of the broch and this is included
in the scheduled area in order to provide full protection for the
broch and settlement. The area to be scheduled is marked in red on
the attached map.
