Cnoc a Phrionnsa “Prince’s Hillock”
Burial Chamber
NB 211 355

Take the A858 north from Callanish through Breasclete and take the second right turn after the school. Drive uphill and look to the right for the stones of the chamber on the hilltop. Ask permission at the house that looks like the one nearest to the field it is in.



The remaining stones here are the northern arc of a burial chamber. The four main uprights are almost touching and are between 0.8 and 1.1m high. Four other smaller stones can be seen, two on each side. There are excellent views of the surrounding landscape from here.
