Hi, the historian went up last night and this is his reply to me via email this morning....
Quote "Ken,
I took a stroll up to the broch at 9pm last night and found the carved stone.
It is located on the outermost stone of the entrance passage on the east side. The carving is quite small and neat and reasonably executed.
It would certainly have been noticed during the original discovery and excavation of the broch in 1864 and I’m pretty certain that it is of recent origin. It looks like a monogram composed of the letters C E (or R) and A. All the best," Unquote
Cheers Ken
