Informations supplémentaires

The remains of Carn Ban, a ruined round cairn or broch above Staffin Bay, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK, looking W to Stenscholl & Brogaig. The distinctive hills are Dun Mor (R) & Dun Beag (L) each topped by an Iron Age fort. Behind them is the Quiraing on the Trotternish Ridge. Carn Ban has a diameter of nearly 16m & survives to a maximum of 1m high. The kerb of a cairn or the outer face of a dun or broch wall is marked by large stones set on edge. At the WNW two stones set at right angles to the circumference may indicate an entrance passage 0.7m wide. Roger Miket says the site is a dun or broch with a wall 3-3.5m thick surrounding an inner court of 10-11m diameter. There is a later circular structure in the N part of the interior, & the ruins of later rectangular buildings lie outside to the E, W & N.
