Ness of Brodgar - the true Heart of Neolithic Orkney? by Nick Card, ORCA
Lecture by Nick Card MA MIfA FSA Scot, Director of the Ness of Brodgar and Senior Project Manager Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology, on the excavations at the Neolithic site at Ness of Brodgar, in the Orkney Islands World Heritage Site.
The Ness is a massive Neolithic walled enclosure that contains numerous well preserved monumental stone buildings on an unparalleled scale –best known from its media coverage as Orkney’s 'Neolithic Cathedral'.
This multi-award winning excavation lies at the heart of one of the richest archaeological landscapes in the world, the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site (WHS) between the great stone circles of the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness, and in close proximity to Maeshowe, the finest Neolithic tomb in Northern Europe.

The Neolitic Standing Stones of Stenness by the Loch of Stenness on the mainland of Orkney, Scotland
The ancient Standing Stones of Stenness, a Neolithic monument by the south-eastern shore of the Loch of Stenness, near Stromness on the mainland of Orkney, Scotland.
Only four of the original stones remain at this ancient ceremonial site, one of the oldest henge sites in the British Isles. The Stones are part of the Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, a series of important domestic and ritual monuments built 5,000 years ago on the Orkney Islands. The music is a tune called Land of the Standing Stones' a slow air composed and performed by talented Scottish fiddle player Paul Anderson from Tarland in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Kate Masters: Megaliths of Orkney and Shetland FULL LECTURE
Explore Orkney with Megalithomania in August 2019. Details here:
Kate explores the best of a diverse range of sites around the almost pristine archaeological environments of Orkney and Shetland. Shetland alone has over 5000 registered archaeological sites. Kate discusses the exciting new discoveries in Orkney which will potentially turn our known approach to the Prehistoric archaeology of Britain on its head. When the finger points at the moon, the fool looks at the finger. Is there evidence to suggest that a priesthood of archeoastronomers were masterminding projects on a vast scale? Just how far did their influence spread? Kate touches on sites such as Staneydale Temple, Maeshowe, Skara Brae, The Stones of Stenness, The Ring of Brodgar and more.
Kate Masters is an artist with a life-long obsession with sacred sites, and she has worked on these themes in her art for many years. This led her in 2007 to renovate a sixteenth century barn in the Mayenne in France, which has prompted a particular interest in this unexplored region. In 2008 she gave a talk about the megaliths of that area, but since moving to Edinburgh, Kate has been exploring northern Scotland and the outer islands that hold some of the most impressive megalithic sites on the planet. Her ancestors hail from the Glastonbury area, and she has co-led tour groups along the ridgeway with her father. Kate also coordinated the Megalithic Art Gallery at Megalithomania for several years.
