From the Knowe of Yarso the remains of the Broch can be clearly seen as a prominent mound near a farm and the loch. A dry stone wall runs across the site.

Canmore states:
‘The remains of a broch of which little stonework is visible. The north arc is represented by a curving grassy mound about 2m high. Stone built boat houses are constructed against the broch on the east and west sides. There are some indications of an outer bank’.
