Torwoodlee Broch, Iron Age broch in Caddonfoot, Scotland.
The circular stone structure measures 23 meters in diameter with walls reaching 5.5 meters thick, featuring an entrance protected from westerly winds.
Archaeological excavations in 1891 revealed Roman artifacts including pottery, glass, and a coin of Titus, indicating occupation during the first century AD.
The defensive fortification stands at the terminus of the Catrail earthwork, which extends 80 kilometers through Selkirkshire to the English border.
The remains currently stand at 0.5 meters high, with visible outer walls made of large stone blocks and inner walls constructed from smaller stones.
The broch contains an intramural chamber near the entrance that served as a guard room, plus a separate chamber housing the remnants of a staircase.
