This possible wheelhouse on South Uist is located in the rubble of the Neolithic chambered cairn which gives the site its name. The south side of the cairn has been robbed and rubble is spread for 10m beyond the peristalith. Traces of a wheelhouse were observed among the stones [3] but later investigators failed to see it in 1965 [1] and noted shielings at the south end.
