Part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, the Ring o' Brodgar is found in the West Mainland parish of Stenness. It stands on an eastward-sloping plateau on the Ness o' Brodgar - a thin strip of land separating the Harray and Stenness lochs.
Because the interior of the Ring o' Brodgar has never been full
y
excavated, or scientifically dated, the monument's actual age remains
uncertain. However, it is generally assumed to have been erected between
2500 BC and 2000 BC, and was, therefore, the last of the great
Neolithic monuments built on the Ness.
