Loch Na Berie is a broch in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, located approximately 400 yards from the shore, and is thought to have been located on an island as the land to the east is a marsh. The site is designated a Scheduled Monument.

Loch na Berie is the site of an Iron Age Broch and associated causeway.[1] The site was excavated in the 1980s, which identified that the Broch had survived to first floor level.[1]
