Broch of Clickimin

The Broch of Clickimin is a large, very much safeguarded however reestablished broch in Lerwick in Shetland, Scotland. Initially based on an island in Clickimin Loch, it was drawn closer by a stone bouled. The broch is arranged inside a walled fenced in area and, strangely for brochs, highlights a huge "forework" or "strong house" between the opening in the nook and the broch itself. The site is kept up by historic Scotland. According to its excavator, John R.C. Hamilton, there were a few times of control of the site: Late Bronze Age farmstead, Early Iron Age farmstead, Iron Age fortress, broch period, and wheelhouse settlement.

The broch was initially unearthed and cleared in 1861-2. Following noteworthy vandalism and incapacitation, parts of the site were remade by the Office of Works in 1908-10. It was uncovered again somewhere in the range of 1953 and 1957 by J. R. C. Hamilton, who proposed a mind boggling sequence for it. The most punctual control of the site, as indicated by Hamilton, was a little Late Bronze Age farmstead of the 7^th or 6^th century BC which was superseded by a bigger round about Iron Age farmhouse worked about the 5^th century BC. In the 4^th , or mid 3^rd century BC, Hamilton proceeded with, a stone-walled fortification comprising of the square house and ringwork was developed, which was thusly superseded by the broch in about the first century AD.
