    Hiking

    Steinacleit lay hidden until peat extraction by smallholders in the 1920s uncovered a large circular structure and an oval walled enclosure.
    Steinacleit was originally thought to be a Neolithic stone circle with chambered cairns, although comparisons with similar structures indicate that it may actually be a prehistoric farmstead with a house and yard.

    Hiking

    Steinacleit is an area on the west coast of Lewis dating back to around 1500 BC. The archeological site has various boulders which were possibly once the foundations for a huge hall. Legend has it that there was a battlefield nearby. Steinacleit has great views over Loch Duin.

    From the prehistoric structure you have a beautiful view of the Loch Duin.
