3D ModelNoAI

Dun A’Chaolais, Isle of Vatersay, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

This is said to be a broch although my thoughts when visting was that the walls were rather thin, although there is a nice wall void or gallery - may be its a Galleried Dun. Anyway this is a site dating back to the Iron Age, The dun is situated on a rocky hillock surrounded by field systens some of which might be contemporary with the dun. Outside the walls of the dun are remains of futher dilapidated structures. Nearby is an oval house (prehistoric) with a later retangular structure built inside it.
