The enormous Stones of Stenness are all that remains of a great stone circle on an ancient ceremonial site. Stenness today consists of four upright stones up to 6m in height in a circle that originally held 12 stones. The stones were encircled by a large ditch and bank and this may be the oldest henge in the British Isles. Map location.
