Dun Troddan is an Iron Age Broch located about 5 km (3.1 mi) southeast of the village of Glenelg in Highland, Scotland [1]. It stands on a level rock platform north of the Abhainn a' Ghlinne Bhig in the lower reaches of Gleann Beag [1]. One of the best-preserved Broch in Scotland, it features massive, double-walled circular construction with an inner diameter of approximately 9 meters [1]. Brochs are the most spectacular of a complex class of roundhouse buildings found throughout Atlantic Scotland [1].
