Ceann Hulavig


Ceann Hulavig is an impressive stone circle. Consisting of five tall slab-like stones standing on a circle of diameter 10m. It’s located on a small hill, just below the crest of the hilltop, but still affording great views over the surrounding area.

It’s possible to see Callanish, Cnoc Fillibhir Bheag and Cnoc Ceann a’Gharraidh stone circles from here, across Loch Ceann Hulabhig.

Within the circle is the remains of a cairn. The stones measure from 2m to 2.75m in height.
