"Standing the Test of Time"
Three of the ancient Standing Stones of Stenness bask in the morning sun out in a farmer's field near Stromness, Orkney in Scotland, UK.
Over 5,000 years old, The Standing Stones of Stennes may be the earliest henge monument in the British Isles. The enormous stones are all that remains of a great stone circle on an ancient ceremonial site.
The Stones of Stenness today consist of four upright stones up to 6m in height in a circle that originally held 12 stones. The focus of the interior was a large hearth. The stones were encircled by a large ditch and bank, the form of which has been lost over time by ploughing.
