‘The monument known as Dun Barraglom, broch, cup marked rocks, fish traps and settlement comprises a group of remains: a broch overlain by a later rectangular building, a group of ruined blackhouses and associated enclosures, 2 groups of cupmarks on rocks, a causeway and 2 fish-traps. These remains range in date from the Bronze Age until recent times. The area to be scheduled is irregular, and is partly between low and high water mark.’
