NG 2984 4357 Barpa (Tumuli) (NR) (One cairn shown)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)
The, probably chambered, cairn Barpa has been greatly pillaged. It is 58' in diameter and is reduced to a height of 4'. Evidently the larger stones have all been removed to build an adjoining dyke.
RCAHMS 1928.
Barpa is a severly denuded cairn measuring 22.0m N-S by 19.0m transversely and about 1.0m high. Partial excavation has revealed, slightly W of centre, 2 large slabs, some 1.5m long lying N-S and 1.1m apart. These possibly formed part of a chamber or passage, or part of a cist.
Visited by OS (C F W) 10 April 1961
