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 of one of the four oval houses. Its plan - a single oval room with a cell at one end and a porch at the other - is clear. The entrance faces downslope. 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.
