It is an astoundingly all around saved broch on the east side parts of the old divider still reach to 9 meters tall. Most brochs were worked in the period from 100 BC to 100 AD.

During that time Dun Carloway stayed being used until the point when the floor level was too high because of develop of the occupation layers.

The broch was sometimes utilized in later occasions as a fortification. The Morrisons of Ness put Dun Carloway into utilization in 1601. The story goes that they had stolen steers from the MacAuleys of Uig. The MacAuleys needed their dairy cattle back and found the Morrisons in the broch. One of them, Donald Cam MacAuley, climbed the external divider utilizing two knifes and figured out how to smoke out the occupants by tossing heather into the broch and after that setting flame to it. The MacAuleys at that point obliterated the broch.
