Aside from the obvious Ring of Brodgar, I would say Vestra Fiold, Sandwick because of the findings of excavations 2002-2004. This is a quarry rather than a circle. However, it does give insights on how monoliths were extracted, and prepared. My bad, Fiold, not field. It is north of Skara Brae.
@@BeforeCaledonia This is a quarry for standing stone monoliths. I have a picture of a monolith being unearthed. The tip had broken off. If the brake occurred in ancient times, I can see how the stone masons would abandon it. You would need a geologist to determine if there is a match for any particular circle. All the archeologists are crouching. So difficult to say for sure. I would say you need three or four of them head to toe to span the length of stone.
which direction is the comet stone in relation other the Ring of Brodgar. My favourite site is the Stones of Sternness. It's not as complete as some, but there was a feeling of depletion I sensed at the Ring whereas the Sternness stones seemed to be holding their own. They could all do with a good recharge, but I believe these sites are not sanctioned for Pagan use.
Lovely, Maes howe would be my favorite. I gave you a plug on the Pre History Guys channel, as I thought you deserve more viewers, bit naughty but deserved! 👍🌝🏴
Thanks very much for the shout out, I appreciate it. Maes Howe is awesome, I would like to make a video on it but they don't allow photography or filming inside.
This is a quick slide show of the coment stone, I will put a link below to an older film I made with some information. ua-cam.com/video/_vNpwIp-_yg/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
@@BeforeCaledonia Thank you! Might be outside your topic, but I wonder if you could explore the locations of Faërie Trees often found in rural areas alongside tracks and paths: their trunks are studded with coins pressed into the bark, often deeply overgrown through age, in payment for safe passage.
What is your favourite site on Orkney? Comment below.
Super great 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Thanks for this. The Broch of Gunness is my favourite.
The Ring of Brodgar is mine, which is next to the Comet Stone. Thanks, Martin.

That is very interesting thank you, I think I have seen images of Vestra Field, is this where the standing stones were quarried?

Like your videos, but frustrated by the lack of information in the Descriptions. What’s the Comet Stone about?
