When walking around the stone circle of Stenness, looking up at their towering height, one is struck by the sheer size and magnitude of the stones. The feelings of awe and wonder are a product of their architecture. The Orkney islands have been inhabited for at least 8500 years. Originally inhabited by the Mesolithic and neolithic tribes, and then by the Picts. The inhabitants of Orkney are called Orcadian. In 875 AD Orkney was colonized and annexed by Norway and later settled by the Norse. The name which is pronounced as Stane-is in Orcadian dialect comes from Old Norse, it means Stone Headland. The Stones of Stenness is one of Four sites making up “The heart of Neolithic Orkney” and are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Located on the south eastern shore of the Loch of Stenness, the Standing stones of Stenness might be the oldest henge site on the British Isles. The oldest radiocarbon dating done at Stenness show as the oldest date 3350 BCE, this date came from an animal bone they had found in the ditch of the henge monument. The ditch surrounding the stones have a diameter of approximately 44 meters. The ditch enclosure had a single entrance on the north side, facing the neolithic barnhouse settlement. During excavations in 1973 and 1974 the bottom of the ditch was found to be beneath the water table and therefore kept filling with water. This, together with archaeological evidence of aquatic plants, indicates that while the monument was “in use” the ditch contained water. This shows that water was a deliberate element of the design of this monument. Inside the ditch they had found pottery sherds and animal remains. This could either indicate that offerings were thrown into the water of the ditch, or that the ditch was used to dump the left overs in from the ceremonies inside the ring. Most bizarre was the fact that the archaeologists had found 2 bones from a cremated human hand inside the ditch near the entrance causeway. Pottery found at the monument links the stones of Stenness with Skara Brae and Maeshowe. The Odin stone was best known for the part it played in sealing agreements and binding marriages and unions. People from all over Orkney would travel to the stone to make their vows absolute by clasping hands through the hole and swearing the Odin Oath. When visiting the stone, it was customary to leave offerings of food or Ale. New-born infants were passed through the hole in the belief that this would ensure them a healthy future. The Odin stone was thought to have been erected around 3000 BCE, it was approximately 2,5 meters high and about 1 meter wide. What’s known as the barnhouse settlement are the remnants of an Orcadian Stone Age Settlement, which was inhabited between 3300 and 2600 BCE. The village was discovered in the winter of 1984, when Archaeologist Colin Richards exercised a field walk.
