Directions:
Next to the minor road which leads to the lighthouse at Cantick Head.

You can’t miss this as it is a large grass covered mound right next to the road.
The mound has several large stones sticking out of the turf.

Canmore states:
‘This turf covered stony mound is 20m in diameter and 2.5m high. It is substantial enough to contain a modest broch. Some protruding slabs on the outermost fringes of the mound suggest outbuildings’.
