North Uist, Cnoc Mhic Eoghainn

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records North Uist, Cnoc Mhic Eoghainn as Sanctuary Marker (medieval)(possible), Standing Stone (prehistoric)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Likely dating to the late Bronze or early Iron Age, the standing stone at Cnoc Mhic Eoghainn may have served a ritual or territorial function, common to many such monuments in the Western Isles. While its medieval designation as a sanctuary marker suggests later Christian association, its original prehistoric meaning remains unclear.
