Well-preserved Neolithic chambered cairn on the hillside above Mingearraidh, South Uist, a short walk up a track

Reineval (Barp Reineval) is a Neolithic chambered cairn on the northern slope of the hill Reineabhal above Mingearraidh (Mingarry), between Milton and Daliburgh on South Uist. It is one of the least disturbed cairns in Uist: a mound about 3.5 metres high and 20 to 23 metres across, with about twelve upright kerb stones still visible and the entrance passage traceable on the east side.

It is reached by taking the Mingearraidh turning east off the A865 and following the track uphill from the end of the tarmac; the cairn is visible ahead. Open access at any reasonable time.
