Barpa Langass, Neolithic burial chamber on Ben Langass, North Uist, Scotland
The circular stone structure measures 25 meters in diameter and rises 4 meters high, featuring a narrow entrance passage leading to a central chamber.
Built around 5000 BC, this chambered cairn represents one of the earliest permanent structures constructed by farming communities in the Outer Hebrides.
The burial chamber contained cremated remains, pottery fragments, and stone tools, indicating its function as a communal tomb for Neolithic tribal members.
Visitors can reach the site through a designated footpath from the nearby parking area, with the entrance passage remaining accessible for exploration.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 revealed evidence of Mesolithic camps beneath the structure, marking this location among the earliest human settlements in the Western Isles.
