_4117 Barpa Langais "Barpa Langais is the best preserved and largest of the Neolithic, chambered, burial cairns on North Uist. Its massive size suggests, according to Erskine Beveridge, that it was the burial place of some great chief and intended as both a tomb and a monument. Its prominent outline and siting, midway up Beinn Langais, is remarkable for the labour which must have been involved in carrying from a great distance and placing so many large stones into its pyramid shape. it is now too dangerous to enter because of the collapsed stonework. Beveridge found remnants of of burnt burials and fragments of Bronze Age urn pottery within the first chamber and he suggested that two further chambers may well lie beyond the entrance to the east. \u2018S e an c\u00e0rn-tiodhlacaidh le s\u00e8omraichean as motha agus as fh\u00e8arr air an gl\u00e8idheadh bho Linn Nuadh na Cloiche ann an Uibhist a Tuath a th\u2019 ann am Barpa Langais.
