ND15 24 AISLE ('The Aisle')

ND/130525 (approx).

Possible broch in Halkirk, mentioned by Anderson as having been a short distance east [2] of the burial ground of that name. The broch is supposed to have been partly removed in about 1824 and entirely destroyed in about 1858, at which time half a stone dish was found [1, 2].
