Passage Grave in North Uist

This big long cairn is really a Hebridean passage grave in disguise, apparently, I'm not altogether sure what this means precisely. Perhaps it just means it's in the Hebrides? maybe, or is it the horned forecourt, possibly.
None of the passage can be seen and though I read that some of the chamber can still be pointed out I never saw it. But the standing stones at the end of the cairn I've seen before at places like Skelpick, does that mean it's a horned forecourt? I don't know, probably, maybe, all I know is it's a good one.
Don't come here the way I did, i.e: climbing over the fence at Carinish stone circle ,drive further down the road to the better car park and footpath to the cairn.

Nearby: Bharpa Carinish by Andy B on Saturday, 10 June 2023
(User Info | Send a Message)
A nearby site, within ~100m at NGR: NF 83690 60375
The stones of the field bank recorded during the excavations in 1989 remain visible in the edges of a peat cutting to the N of the E end of the chambered cairn (NF86SW 14). A stretch of the enclosure bank, also investigated in 1989, can be traced as a low heather grown bank emerging from the peat and running up to join the NE end of the cairn.
