is the best example of a broch in Orkney. It was excavated in the early 1930s by W.Grant. The remains of this broch still stand to over 4 metres and it might have been up to 13 metres high when first built. The broch was built in close association with a small village, the remains of which can still be seen outside the walls of the defensive structure.It differs from most brochs in having two large "rooms" protected within its large fortified walls, each with their own hearth, beds and other signs of domesticity. There is a communal well beneath the floor of the more westerly room.
