Barp Reineval is a chambered cairn in South Uist.

A large rubble mound standing up to 4m high and measuring 25m in diameter is surrounded by a ring of large orthostats, most of which are on the NW edge. The upper courses of an entrance passage are visible on the ESE side of the mound. The passage is largely filled with loose rubble similar in character to the cairn material. A displaced roofing slab lies close to the entrance passage. Canmore
