Dun nan Gall Broch

Both of the Isle of Mull brochs, Dun Nan Gall and An Sean Chaisteal, are in spectacular locations, fairly close to the road and well worth the short walks to get to them.

NM 433 431 is located about 700 metres west-north-west of Kilbrennan Farm. The broch is 10.4 metres in diameter within a well-built dry-stone wall which varies from 3 to 4 metres in thickness. The entrance is on the east is 1.2 metres wide and on the south side there is a passage which would have opened from the interior at ground level and given access to a stair.

The interior is obscured by heaps of tumbled debris which also encumbers the flanks of the knoll on all sides. A modern dyke has been built on top of the ruins of the broch wall on the north-east.
