The Ring of Brodgar is a massive circle 341 ft (104 meters) in diameter Neolithic stone henge ceremonial site dating back to 2500 BC. Located on the Mainland island in Orkney, Scotland, it is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, a group of Neolithic monuments, chambered tombs, cairns, and mounds. Of the original 60 Ring of Brodgar stones, only 27 remain standing.

The Standing Stones of Stenness is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, a group of Neolithic monuments on the Mainland of the Orkney Islands, Scotland. This composition shows three of the four remaining stones of what is believed to have been a circle of up to twelve. This “henge” site may be the oldest in the British Isles dating back to 3100 BC. A henge refers to a circular or oval-shaped earthworks or bank with an internal ditch surrounding a flat area of 66ft (20 m) in diameter often with ritual structures of timber or stone circles and coves.
