Also known as: Dun Dornadilla or Dun Dornaigil,broch

Dun Dornaigil is an Iron Age broch in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands [1]. It is in Strathmore on the eastern bank of the Strathmore River [1]. The broch has an external diameter of about 14.5 metres [1]. The walls of Dun Dornaigil generally survive from 2 to 3 metres around the circumference of the broch, but above the doorway they rise to nearly 7 metres [1]. The entrance is on the northeast side but is filled with debris [1]. There is a massive triangular lintel over the entrance which measures 1.4 metres along the base, and 0.9 metres in height [1]. The interior of the broch is still filled with collapsed rubble from the upper levels and is therefore not accessible [1].
