Ben Uarie overlooks the site, top left. There’s also a long cairn in the trees, according to the map. But I couldn’t see it... for the trees.

As seems a prerequiste in these parts the broch is well sited above a water source. I think this is the Allt a’ Choire Mhoir.

More or less trashed... and, as Nick says, in a bog... but this broch features some additional outer defences so it would have been rude not to stop and have a look.
