Tappoch Broch

3D Model

This small carving is on the underside of one of the blocks used in the wall of the internal staircase of the broch. It appears as if this was quarried from its original spot by the broch builders and re-used here. Whether this was deliberate or by accident will never be known. The motif consists of three concentric rings - unusually these are around a central boss not a cup mark.
