  1. An Broc

    Share Share Post
    Is annamh a feictear an broch. Codluigheann sé an lá ins an mbrocach. Bíonn sé amuigh san oidhche ag cuartughadh. Marbhuigheann sé lachainn agus éineacha fiadáns. Tá boladh breun ón mbroc deirtear chomh breun le broch. Is feiteidhe gearr é tá sé beagán níos mó ná cath agus dath liath air agus tá a craiceann an bhruich luachmhar.
    Tá dhá cineál broch ann, broc muice agus broch madadh. Tocluigheann an broch muiche in talamh ag ithe phreumahaidhe agus tá cionn mór aige ar an neartach agus itheann sé go leór de. Is brocach an t-ainm atá ar an áit a gcomnuidheann sé. Bíonn féir agus clúin i mbéal an mbrocaidh agus sin é a coseamlacht atá ar an áit i mbíonn an broch.
