514 GB - Heart of Neolithic Orkney (1999)

Brief Description

"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 5,000 years ago."

奥克尼新石器时代遗址

"奥克尼新石器时代遗址包括一个宠大的墓穴（麦豪石室）和两个举行仪式的石圈（斯特尼斯石圈和布罗德加古石圈）、一个居住区（史卡拉弧状岩石）和许多未被挖掘出来的墓葬、仪式场所和定居点。它们形成了壮观的文化遗址，展现了五千年前苏格兰群岛北部一个偏僻岛屿上的生活状况。"
