Dun Beag Iron Age broch, Struanmore, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK, showing deliberate blocking of the NW entrance into the intramural gallery from the central courtyard. The broch's circular inner court is just under 11m across, the double wall containing cells, a gallery and stairway is up to thick. The upper levels of the tower have collapsed, but the walls survive up to high in places. The broch is one of the best preserved on Skye, it was excavated in the early 1900s by Countess Vincent Baillet de Latour FSA (Scot).
