Carn Liath
Chambered Cairn
NG 420 514
Carry on along the A87 towards Uig and just over a bridge before Kensaleyre there is a parking space. Walk back to the bridge where there is a stile to reach the site. The field is quite wet.
This tall cairn is about 4m high and it stands out very clearly as the stones have a white lichen on them. There is reported to be a chambered tomb inside where bones were found in a cist but there is no sign of this.
Eyre Stones
Standing Stones
NG 415 525
About a mile beyond Kensaleyre on the A87 towards Uig are two standing stones beside Loch Snizort. It is not easy to stop here and the stones are over a fence in a field. In a tourist guide it says that a local legend is attached to the stones where they were supposed to support the cooking pot of the Feine in which venison was cooked. The mottled pattern on the stones was when an inferior shellfish stew was cooked and thrown over the stones. The stones are also known locally as “Stones of the mouthful”.
