Tappoch Broch, Iron Age broch in Torwood, Scotland
The stone structure features walls measuring between 5 and 7.5 meters thick, enclosing an oval chamber with a diameter of approximately 10 meters.
The 1864 excavation by Colonel Joseph Dundas required removing 200 tons of boulders from the center, revealing the original rock surface floor beneath.
The archaeological discoveries at the site include stone querns, pottery fragments, and stones with carved cup-and-ring patterns indicating prehistoric activities.
The entrance passage on the southeast side extends 6.25 meters in length and maintains a width of 0.79 meters throughout its course.
The internal staircase demonstrates advanced engineering with sloped inner walls, suggesting an original cantilever vault construction method.
