The broch is situated on the W slope of Beinn a Ghobhain on a rocky outcrop overlooking the shallow basin of the Borrafiach Burn.

The circular internal court is some 10m across & filled with around 2m of rubble. The entrance passage is at the NW & traces of an upper gallery within the double wall are visible. The broch stands above the ruined walls (dykes) of an old field system. To the S & W the broch is surrounded by the remains of at least 10 stone houses or shielings.
