Ring o' Brodgar
Ring o' Brodgar
The ring is a 'henge', surrounded by a massive ditch. It has two entrance causeways, one to the north-west and the other to the south-east. With a diameter of 103 metres, the Brodgar ring is the third largest stone circle in the British Isles, beaten only by the outer ring at Avebury and the Greater Ring at Stanton Drew in England.
