Carn A Chladha broch

The broch is a grassy mound on a grassy mound, but there is a short section of stone walling showing.

Access is simple enough, but parking isn't. I found a short stretch of rough verge I could pull onto, but you may have to park at Bail A Chairn and do some walking to find a gate. It's private farmland so letting the farmer know what you're up to would be courteous, especially if there is livestock in the field.

Disclaimer: Some brochs were built with military defensive purpose, and as such can be situated in extremely dangerous areas, such as on the edge of cliffs and ravines. Additionally, these are Iron Age structures, most of them in ruins, and they are extremely hazardous, with crumbling stone walls and hidden chambers. Existing walls, lintels, and passages could collapse at any time. The information here is provided free but it is your responsibility to ensure its accuracy, ensure your own safety, and acquire permissions for access where necessary. Accessing brochs is done entirely at your own risk.
