Barpa Langass

Barpa Langais

A Neolithic chambered cairn about 5,000 years old on the North Uist moorland, one of the best-preserved stone chamber tombs in the Outer Hebrides.

Barpa Langais is a Neolithic chambered cairn about 25 m in diameter, still intact in shape, on a moorland slope in central North Uist. The burial chamber is closed to visitors because its structure is unstable, but you can walk around it to see the massive entrance stones. From the car park on the A867, it takes about 10 minutes to walk there. Another 1 km leads to the Pobull Fhinn stone circle, so the two can be visited together. Free admission.
