This heap of rocks is Barpa Langais, on the island of North Uist, which has the highest density of Neolithic tombs in the British Isles. It's the best-preserved chambered cairn in the Outer Hebrides. Inside, the walls and roof of the original burial chamber are still intact - amazing given the prevailing conditions and the age of the structure (at least 4500 years).
