Oval stone circle of around two dozen stones on the slopes of Ben Langass, North Uist, reached by footpath from Langass Lodge

Pobull Fhinn is a stone circle on the southern slopes of Ben Langass in North Uist, above Loch Langass and near Langass Lodge. The name is Gaelic and is usually translated as Fionn's people, after the legendary hero Fionn mac Cumhaill.

The circle is an oval about 37 metres by 28 metres, set on a terrace cut into the hillside, with around two dozen stones still standing, a tall stone at the east side and two fallen slabs to the west. It probably dates from the second millennium BC.

The site is reached by a footpath from near Langass Lodge; the walk can be combined with the Barpa Langass chambered cairn on the other side of the hill.
