Scope and Content Settlement at Stanydale, West Mainland, Shetland The settlement at Stanydale consists of five structures, a system of field-walls and clearance cairns. Four of the buildings are oval houses and the fifth is a great hall which would have been a chieftain's house or tribal meeting hall. This is a view showing the interior of the great house or "temple". In the foreground is one of the two post holes which held the roof supports. Behind is one of six cells formed by large stone slabs. The hall has been excavated and partially restored. Finds included stone tools and pottery along with a pile of burnt sheep bone, perhaps a ritual deposit. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
