| | Orkneyjar - The Deepdale Stone |
 | | These stones, scattered across the islands, are often ignored simply because they are inaccessible, unnoticed, or quite simply don't look as impressive as their larger relatives. |
 | | Their position on the western horizon led to the theory that the Deepdale stones may have been aligned, or were outliers, to the Ring o' Brodgar, and connected to the setting sun in much the same way as the Barnhouse stone is to the chamber of Maeshowe. |
 | | However, the distance from Brodgar means that the Deepdale stones would have been very difficult to see with the naked eye. |
