The Standing Stones of Stenness is a Neolithic monument five miles northeast of Stromness on the mainland of Orkney, Scotland, United Kingdom.
The Stones of Stenness are located between the Loch of Stenness and the Loch of Harray near the Neolithic settlement of Barnhouse within sight of the Passage Tomb of Maes Howe a mile southeast of the Ring of Brodgar.
Until the 18th century, the monument was associated with traditions and rituals, related to the Norwegian gods. Today nothing more precise can be said about the purpose of the stone circle. They have been under state protection since 1906 and have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999 as part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney.
