Category Archives: Standing Stones

Simply what the term suggests: upright singular or multiple sets of stones plonked there thousands of years back (traditionally betwixt neolithic to Iron Age) for various uses. Some relate to burial; others to land-markers (tribal boundaries, etc); some may be alignment-markers (solar and lunar); othes simple meeting spots (moots). They are closely related to stone circles, tombs, and many of them are outliers to such sites.
