Barp Frobost Chambered Cairn

Barp Frobost is a Neolithic chambered cairn on a rocky knoll east of the A865 at Frobost, South Uist, one of the group of Hebridean round cairns on the island. The mound stands about 2.5 metres high on a base roughly 25 metres across, with the large stones of the collapsed inner chamber visible on top; the footings of later shieling huts are built into its base, which makes the original outline hard to read.

It is an open-access site. Take the farm track opposite the Frobost turn-off and follow it east for about a mile; the last stretch crosses boggy ground and a small stream, so waterproof footwear is needed.
