The Neolithic dwellings in Barnhouse Village were probably occupied by those who built Maeshowe and the foundations give a good impression of what the houses looked like at the time. 1.5 km further on you will find the very romantic Ring of Brodgar. Its monoliths are said to be between 3,500 and 4,000 years old. Sitting enthroned in the heather, 27 of the original 60 are still visible. Between the two sites, you will pass the Ness of Bodgar, still under excavation.

Site très intéressants en libre accès dans la campagne au milieu des prairies. Les pierres levées sont intéressantes, malheureusement il y avait des travaux et la moitié du "ring" était inaccessible. Le village est moins bien conservé que Skara Brae. Mais cela vaut le coup de s'y arrêter.
Site classé Unesco en accès libre. Le bus touristique T11 qui passe auparavant à Skara Brae s'arrête trente minutes à l'entrée du site, ce qui est suffisant pour en faire le tour.
