STANDING STONES (OF STENNESS), THE). Scottish, March (4/4 or 2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. The Standing Stones of Stenness, Orkney, were a ring of megaliths patterned in an ellipse and surrounded by a ditch. Four of the original twelve planned stones survive, although it seems the 12th stone was never actually erected. The largest stone stands 19ft. tall. Radiocarbon dates from the excavation show that the site dates from at least 3100BC, making the Standing Stones complex one of the earliest stone circles in Britain .
