Ring of Brodgar
The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle on Mainland, Orkney, occupying a narrow isthmus between the Loch of Stenness and the Loch of Harray. The circular monument measures about 104 metres across and originally held up to sixty standing stones set within a carved circular ditch. It is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO World Heritage Site and lies among a dense concentration of prehistoric monuments.

What Ring of Brodgar looked like in its prime.
An almost perfect 104 m-diameter circle of closely spaced upright sandstone monoliths — originally up to sixty — set within a continuous circular ditch cut from bedrock. Stones vary in height, the tallest clustered to the south and west; one named stone (the Comet Stone) sits to the south-east. The ring occupies low grassy ground on a narrow isthmus with the dark, still surfaces of two freshwater lochs framing the horizon. Surfaces are rough-hewn local stone, standing on grass and exposed earth of the ditch.
