Chambered Cairn in North Uist. A Hebridean chambered tomb with a square cairn and some of its upright kerbstones surviving. On the south-east side a short passage leads to an irregular chamber. Remains of an intrusive Iron Age structure can be seen in the north-west corner.
The alternate name, Leacach an Tigh Cloiche means 'the house of stones on the bare summit of a hill'.
