Dun Hallin

Dun Hallin is an Iron Age broch located near the northwest coast of the island of Skye, in Scotland [1]. Dun Hallin is located on the Waternish peninsula of Skye, just east of the settlement of Hallin [1]. It occupies the southeast end of a steep-sided rocky plateau overlooking a fertile valley and the sea [1]. Dun Hallin has an external diameter of around 17.4 metres and an internal diameter of around 10.5 metres [1]. The broch walls currently stand to a maximum height of 3.8 metres on the north and west sides [1]. The entrance is on the southeast side but is in a ruined state [1]. On each side of the entrance passage are oval guard cells, although only the northern, right-hand cell can easily be seen [1]. The interior of the broch has much rubble grassed over [1].
