Dun Flodigarry, on the north-east coast of Skye, is a badlyruined Iron Age stone structure on a low rock knoll and having a plan like an open-sided ring. Two-thirds of the double wall remains, two or three courses high, and a C-14 date suggested that it was built in the 1 st century A. D. The interior was full of unstratified earth, with no trace of a floor level; this, and the presence of a deposit of rubble diagnosed as bulling material, suggests that the site is an unfinished ground-galleried broch rather than a D-shaped semi-broch. The finds were relatively few, and the pottery is mainly incised ware, analogous to the ‘native’ wares found at Dun Mor Vaul, Tiree
