| The Standing Stones of Stenness is a Neolithic monument near Stromness on the mainland of Orkney, Scotland. This may be the oldest henge site in the British Isles. The Stones of Stenness today consist of four upright stones up to 6m in height in a circle that originally held 12 stones. The Stones of Stenness are part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, a series of important domestic and ritual monuments built 5000 years ago in the Orkney Islands. |
