Torwoodlee Broch (grid reference NT46553847) is situated on the site of an earlier hillfort on the shoulder of a ridge.

[1] The broch itself lies on the southwest side of the fort and partly on top of the defences.

[1] The broch was first cleared out by James Curle in 1891 at which time much Roman pottery and glass, together with a 1st-century AD coin were found inside it.

[1] More Roman pottery and glass was found beneath the wall of the broch.

[1] The many fragments of Roman material found in the broch might be explained as loot from the nearby legionary fort at Newstead (Trimontium).
