Background

Description

Baile Mhargaite broch (also referred to as Sandy Dun or Invernaver broch) has a visible circumference of roughly 8.5 meters, though the broch structure itself is fairly tumbled and filled with stone rubble and sand. The walls are preserved up to approximately a meter in height and 4 meters in thickness. Abutting the broch to the west is a small building annex measuring 8 meters by 5 meters. The original entrance to the broch is unknown, though it is thought that a partially exposed lintel slab may indicate that the entrance was in the west wall. North of the possible entrance is a short stretch of a base course of stones, and there are further potential wall remains adjacent to the access…
