The B8013 is one of three B-roads in the Ness District at the very northern tip of Lewis. It was originally unclassified but had gained its number by 1932.
When heading northeast on the A857, the B8013 is the first of the B-roads to be met in the village of Lionel (Lional). It turns off to the left and runs out between the long thing crofts, past houses and then a cluster of buildings including School, Church, Police and Fire Stations. The road then crosses the open moor, curving around the back of Eorpie Dunes and turning to the west as it does so. Then, just before the route terminates, it turns back to the north and meets the B8014 at a crossroads in Eoropie (Eòropaidh), where both classified routes end. The western arm of the crossroads serves a number of houses, while the northern arm goes to the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse.
