As Thelonious says, find the signpost and you'll find the broch situated on the banks of the Horse Sound. I'd parked at the north end of Achiltibuie to walk down the minor road to revisit a few places last visited and worked at many years ago. Nothing much has changed and probably nothing will.
I often wonder if a full scale excavation clearing out rubble, turf, various rubbish, would reveal much more here. Tantalising glimpses of well built still remain and as can be seen by turf covering the broch walls there is still a considerable amount of the site left. The nearby houses and walls, ruins themselves, have been built out of broch stone.
A bit of a what if site, but you never know what's underneath.
14/05/2012 - There is parking and a signpost pointing to the broch in Polglass but we parked at the Burial Ground (NC 0364 0614) and made the short walk along the coast. I really liked this one. Not in great condition though as a number of buildings have been added over the years.
