Carinish is a Bronze Age stone circle situated south of Loch na Boganaich on the Isle of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. The monument comprises a ring of standing stones typical of Bronze Age ritual monuments found across Scotland, though the precise number of surviving stones and their current state of preservation reflect the site's exposure to the Hebridean environment over millennia. Stone circles of this type, commonly erected between approximately 2500 and 1500 BCE, served ceremonial and possibly astronomical functions within Bronze Age communities. The site's location in the Outer Hebrides demonstrates the widespread distribution of such ritual monuments across Scotland during the Bronze Age period.
