Maeshowe - Mound of Wonders Part 1
A documentary film that accompanied my senior thesis on 'Maeshowe'. Part 2:
Maeshowe, Scotland
Maeshowe (or Maes Howe; Norse: Orkhaugr) is a Neolithic chambered cairn and passage grave situated on Mainland, Orkney, Scotland.
It was probably built in around 2800 BC. It gives its name to the Maeshowe type of chambered cairn, which is limited to Orkney.

Skara Brae 3100 BC -Orkney - Scotland
In the winter of 1850, a great storm battered Orkney.
There was nothing particularly unusual about that, but, on this occasion, the combination of wind and extremely high tides stripped the grass from a large mound, then known as Skerrabra.
This revealed the outline of a number of stone buildings - something that intrigued the local laird, William Watt, of Skaill, who embarked on an excavation of the site.
In 1868, after the remains of four ancient houses had been unearthed, work at Skerrabra was abandoned. The settlement remained undisturbed until 1925, when another storm damaged some of the previously excavated structures. A sea-wall was built to preserve these remains, but during the construction work, yet more ancient buildings were discovered.

SKARA BRAE
QUOYLOO
ORKNEY
SCOTLAND
SKARA BRAE IS THE BEST PRESERVED NEOLITHIC VILLAGE IN NORTHERN EUROPE. THE SETTLEMENT IS A VITAL PART OF THE HEART OF NEOLITHIC ORKNEY, WORLD HERITAGE SITE. THIS DRAWS MANY VISITORS YEARLY TO MAINLAND ORKNEY, SITUATED BETWEEN NORTH SCOTLAND AND SHETLAND.
ON THE WEST MAINLAND COAST, AT THE BAY OF SKAILL AND OFF THE B9056 ROAD, YOU WILL FIND A PARTLY BELOW GROUND VILLAGE THAT WAS LIVED IN PRE EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS AND STONEHENGE CONSTRUCTION. THE STRUCTURE SURVIVES SURPRISINGLY INTACT WITH THE FURNITURE STILL IN PLACE.
IN THE PRESENT WE CAN LOOK INTO EACH DWELLING FROM ROOF LEVEL AND VISUALISE OUR ANCESTORS PLACING ITEMS ON THE DRESSER, LAYIN IN BED, SITTING AT THE HEARTH AND WALKING IN AND OUT THE DOORWAYS. SKARA BRAE WAS IN USE FOR 600 YEARS FROM 5100-4500 YEARS AGO. THE VILLAGE IS IN THE CARE OF HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND.
DURING THE WINTER OF 1850 A FEIRCE STORM RIPPED THE TURF FROM THE HIGH DUNE NEAR SKAILL HOUSE. A HUGE REFUSE HEAP WAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT ALONG WITH REMAINS OF A PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENT.
SKARA BRAE HAS BEEN SO WELL PRESERVED DUE TO ‘MIDDEN’. THIS IS A LONG LASTING BUILDING MATERIAL, THE DWELLINGS WERE ENCOMPASSED BY AND BUILT INTO. SAND WAS ALSO AN IMPORTANT PART TO SKARA BRAES SURVIVAL IN COVERING THE VILLAGE AND GIVING IT FURTHER STABILITY.
WHAT IS LEFT TODAY ARE TEN BUILDINGS MADE OF ORCADIAN FLAGSTONE. IT IS POSSIBLE SKARA BRAE WAS MUCH BIGGER. ARCHAEOLOGISTS ARE CONFIDENT THERE IS LITTLE TO UNCOVER AT THE LANDWARD SIDE. AT THE BEACH END, IT IS POSSIBLE MORE VILLAGE MAY HAVE EXISTED.
THERE WERE TWO PARTS OF CONSTRUCTION. THE BULK OF WHAT WE SEE TODAY IS THE YOUNGER CONSTRUCT. THIS HAS MOSTLY COVERED THE ORIGINAL BUILD WHICH HAD A DIFFERENT LAY OUT PLAN. HOUSES 9 & 10 ARE FROM THE FIRST PHASE. HOUSE 9 IS THE BEST PRESERVED OF THE EARLIER DWELLINGS.
THE MIDDEN MATERIAL WAS THE FIRST STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION. THIS CONSISTED OF DECOMPOSED FOODSTUFF, DUNG, SHELLS, STONES AND BROKEN ANIMAL BONES. SIMILAR TO A GARDENERS COMPOST HEAP. THIS MATERIAL MADE A TOUGH CLAY LIKE SUBSTANCE.
AS YOU ENTER EACH HOUSE YOU ARE MET WITH THE DRESSER STRAIGHT AHEAD. HOUSE 7 IS THE BEST PRESERVED. THE REMAINS OF TWO FEMALES WERE FOUND BENEATH THE FLOOR. THERE IS ALSO A HIGH LEVEL OF STONE CARVED DECORATION HERE. THE VISITORS CENTRE RECONSTRUCTION IS BASED ON THE HOUSE 7 DESIGN.
HOUSE 1 IS THE LARGEST AND NEAREST THE SEA. THIS IS A TYPICAL DESIGN FOR ALL THE HOUSES. NEXT TO THE DRESSER IS A UNIQUE FEATURE, THERE IS THREE SMALL BOX TANKS FOR FISH BAIT. AT THE DRESSERS RIGHT HAND SIDE IS A STONE GRINDER, IN THE CENTRE IS THE HEARTH. BETWEEN THE DRESSER AND HEARTH IS A STONE SEAT, AT EITHER SIDE IS THE BOX BEDS WITH STORAGE SPACES SET INTO THE WALLS.
STRUCTURE 8 IS PECULIAR AS IT IS DETACHED FROM THE REST OF THE VILLAGE. IT IS ALSO THE ONLY ROOM WHICH IS NOT FOR LIVING. THE ONLY FEATURE IT HAS IS THE HEARTH. IT HAS THICKER WALLS THAN THE OTHER DWELLINGS AND WAS FREESTANDING WITHOUT THE MIDDEN MATERIAL.
DURING EXCAVATIONS THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS FOUND ‘CHERT’ A FLINT LIKE STONE, EVERYWHERE. THIS SUGGESTS A WORKSHOP AREA FOR MAKING STONE TOOLS. OUTSIDE STRUCTURE 8 IS THE SO CALLED ‘MARKET PLACE’. WHICH HAS A PAVED AREA INSIDE THE MAIN PASSAGE.
THE SHORT AND NARROW DOORWAYS WOULD HAVE OFFERED PROTECTION AGAINST WIND. BEAR IN MIND THE HOUSES WERE ORIGINALLY ROOFED. SUPPORT BEAMS FOR THE ROOF WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE FROM WHALEBONE OR WOOD. THE ROOF MATERIAL WAS TURF, WEIGHTED DOWN BY TWISTED HEATHER MADE INTO ROPE.
CARVINGS CAN BE FOUND ON SOME OF THE WALLS AND PASSAGES. THE CARVINGS ARE SIMPLE ABSTRACT DESIGNS. THEY MAY ORIGINALLY HAVE BEEN COLOURED IN.
DURING EXCAVATIONS A FEW FINDS WERE OBJECTS MADE OF BONE WHICH RESEMBLE DICE. COW NUCKLE BONES WERE ALSO FOUND AND MAY HAVE A DIVINATION PURPOSE.
SKARA BRAE APPEARS TO BE ON A NORTH WEST ALIGNMENT WITH THREE SITES, RING OF BRODGAR, STONES OF STENNESS AND MAESHOWS. THE LATTER THREE CONSTRUCTIONS MAKE UP THE WORLD HERITAGE SITE. THE RING OF BOOKAN COULD ALSO BE INCLUDED ON THIS ALIGNMENT.
SKARA BRAE HAS A RESEMBLANCE TO PREHISTORIC VILLAGES IN CORNWALL, ENGLAND. CARN EUNY AND CHYSUTER ARE TWO EXAMPLES. HERE WE HAVE SIMILAR CONSTRUCTIONS AT THE TWO EXTREMES OF THE BRITISH ISLES.
WHEN SKARA BRAES USE CAME TO AN END, AT THE SAME TIME THE MAJESTIC CONSTRUCTIONS OF MAESHOWE, THE STONES OF STENNESS AND THE RING OF BRODGAR WERE BEING ERECTED.
IN NORTH EUROPE, SKARA BRAE IS UNPARALLELED IN ITS GIFT OF GIVING US AN INSIGHT OF HOW OUR DEEP ANTIQUITY ANCESTORS LIVED THERE LIVES. THE SITE STILL HOLDS THIS PROFOUND STATUS TODAY.
A BIG THANK YOU YO OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS.
Heart of Neolithic Orkney (UNESCO/NHK)
The group of Neolithic monuments on Orkney consists of a large chambered tomb (Maes Howe), two ceremonial stone circles (the Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar) and a settlement (Skara Brae), together with a number of unexcavated burial, ceremonial and settlement sites. The group constitutes a major prehistoric cultural landscape which gives a graphic depiction of life in this remote archipelago in the far north of Scotland some ...

STONES OF STENNESS
STROMNESS
ORKNEY MAINLAND
SCOTLAND
INTRO
THE STONES OF STENNESS IS ONE OF FOUR SITES WHICH MAKE UP THE HEART OF NEOLITHIC ORKNEY, WORLD HERITAGE SITE. THE STONES OF STENNESS ARE SITUATED ON ORKNEY’S MAIN ISLAND, NINE MILES FROM THE NORTH TIP OF SCOTLAND, ACROSS THE PENTLAND FIRTH.
ORKNEY WAS A JEWEL OF THE NEOLITHIC CULTURE. THE STONES OF STENNESS IS JUST ONE COMPONENT OF A MASSIVE CEREMONIAL LANDSCAPE. THIS MEGALITHIC COMPLEX WAS ERECTED BY OUR PREHISTORIC ANCESTORS. THE RING OF BRODGAR & THE RING OF BOOKAN, MAKE UP A TRILOGY OF SACRED CIRCLES AT THE NESS OF BRODGAR.
SITUATED NEXT TO THE B9055 ROAD AND BETWEEN THE LOCHS OF HARRAY & STENNESS. THE STONES ARE NOT ONLY OF SCOTTISH SIGNIFICANCE BUT GLOBALLY. THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION IS NOT CLEAR. DATES RANGE FROM BETWEEN 3400BC-2700BC. THE FIRST RECORD OF THE STONES WAS IN 1700AD. THE SITE WAS TAKEN INTO STATE CARE IN 1906.
STONES
THE STONES WERE LAYED OUT IN AN 30M X 32M DIAMETER OVAL.
ORIGINALLY THERE WERE TWELVE STONES, AT PRESENT FOUR REMAIN, THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE 1760. MODERN MARKERS INDICATE WHERE HOLES OR STONE SETTINGS WERE FOUND BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS. WOODEN POSTS COULD HAVE EXISTED BEFORE THE MEGALITHS.
BETWEEN 3000BC-2000BC IS WHEN THE STONES WERE THOUGHT TO BE ERECTED. THE HIGHEST IS OVER 5.7M. IT IS POSSIBLE THE MEGALITHS WERE ERECTED BEFORE THE HENGE CONSTRUCTION. THE TENANT FARMER PULLED DOWN TWO OF THE STONES IN 1851. ONE LAY RECUMBENT, THE OTHER HAD BEEN SHATTERED.
INTERIOR
THE CENTRAL FEATURES WERE IN USE FROM 4950-4500 YEARS AGO. IF YOU ENTER THE SITE FROM THE ORIGINAL ENTRANCE, THE FIRST FEATURE YOU COME TO AFTER THE MEGALITHS, IS A SHORT ARRANGEMENT OF STONES. ACCORDING TO EARLY ACCOUNTS A HUGE RECUMBENT MEGALITH LAY TOWARDS THE CENTRE OF THE RING.
A DOLMEN WAS RECONSTRUCTED IN 1906, THIS RECONSTRUCTION DESTROYED EVIDENCE OF WHAT ONCE EXISTED. IN THE 1970’S THE DOLMEN WAS TAKEN DOWN. THE TWO STONES THAT REMAIN, FRAME MAESHOWE IN THE DISTANCE.
THE FOCAL POINT OF THE INTERIOR IS THE LARGE HEARTH. AN EARLIER HEARTH WOULD HAVE PRECEDED THE ONE WE SEE TODAY, ALONG WITH A TIMBER UPRIGHT. COLIN RICHARDS AN ARCHAEOLOGIST, ARGUES THE ORIGINAL HEARTH CAME FROM THE MIDDLE AREA AT BARNHOUSE VILLAGE, A SHORT WALK AWAY.
HENGE
AROUND THE MEGALITHS WAS A MASSIVE ENCLOSURE HENGE WITH A BANK AND DITCH. THE DITCH WAS 4M WIDE BY NEARLY 2.5M IN DEPTH. THIS WAS A BIG ACHIEVEMENT BY OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS, AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MET WITH MOSTLY SOLID ROCK.
THE SITE LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT TODAY THAN ORIGINALLY IMAGINED. HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF PLOUGHING WORE DOWN THE ORIGINAL HENGE BY 1973. WHAT WE SEE TODAY OF THE HENGE IS A MODERN RECONSTRUCTION OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IN 1851.
ARCHAEOLOGY
ANIMAL BONES WITH GROOVED WARE POTTERY, SUGGEST THE NEW STONE AGE PEOPLE, COOKED AND DINED AT THE STONES. THIS GROOVED WEAR POTTERY HAS BEEN EXCAVATED AT SOME OF THE BEST KNOWN ANCIENT SITES IN SCOTLAND AND ENGLAND.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OF FIRE IN THE SMALL CENTRAL SLAB SETTING. THERE IS SIGNS OF ACTIVITY FROM MUCH LATER ON IN HISTORY. PITS WERE DUG AND FILLED WITH POTTERY JARS. THESE WERE ALSO FOUND IN NEARBY IRON AGE SETTLEMENTS FROM 3000 YEARS LATER.
OTHER INFO
AT THE TOP OF THE STENNESS PENINSULA IS THE WATCHSTONE. IT IS SITUATED A SHORT WALK AWAY TO THE NW. THE HOLED ‘STONE OF ODIN’ WAS NEARBY WHICH WAS DESTROYED IN 1814. THIS STONE WAS RENOWNED FOR SEALING CONTRACTS AND HEALING.
THE NAME STENNESS DERIVES FROM STEIN-NES, AN OLD NORSE WORD MEANING STONE PROMONTORY. THESE SITES AT THE NESS OF BRODGAR ALONG WITH CALLANISH ARE THE BEST KNOWN PREHISTORIC REMAINS IN SCOTLAND.
A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS

The surprising thing about the monuments of these outliers of the British Isles is that not since the grandeur of Avebury in Wiltshire and Stanton Drew in Somerset have we seen stone circles the size of some of these. If size was an expression of 'wealth', how was it being bestowed on the populations of these islands?
This is the last of a complete seven-part online edition of Standing with Stones. If you've ever dreamed of travelling through Great Britain & Ireland, visiting the standing stones and other fantastic monuments that our ancient ancestors left us, then you will love this film. Over two years in the making, Standing with Stones was made by just two men with great film making skills, a camper van and a passion for the monuments in stone left to us by Neolithic and Bronze Age ancestors. The result is a remarkable feature length documentary film that take the viewer on a journey of discovery, uncovering the true extent and variety of megalithic Britain and Ireland.
In this episode, Callanish, Grey Cairns of Camster, Maes Howe, Ring of Brodgar, Stenness, Skara Brae, The Tomb of the Eagles.
