SandyG visited on 12th Aug 2017 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 2 Parking is available at NF 84842 73473. From here walk uphill to the fence at around NF 85127 73333. Follow the fence until around NF 85794 72488 and then head towards the long cairn at NF 85684 72046. This cairn is well worth visiting.

Chambered Cairn in North Uist

A 50.5m long mound of stones measuring up to 17m wide and 1.7m high situated on a prominent ridge. Edge set slabs towards the eastern end of the cairn are likely to represent the remains of a chamber. A modern marker cairn has been built on top of the cairn.

For more information see Canmore ID 10346.

Update November 2019: This chambered cairn is visible from the Sgealtrabhal (Skeal Traval) stone alignment. Visit this link from the Stone Rows of Great Britain website for more information and a plan of the alignment in relationship to this cairn, and see 'nearby sites' below for our own site page for the Skeal Traval alignment.
