The watch stone standing between Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar Orkney. SCO 5700
Other megaliths in the vicinity, now thought to have been part of the original complex, are the Watchstone , a massive slab of stone that towers over the Brig o' Brodgar, and the Barnhouse Stone , a solitary stone to the south-east, between Maeshowe and the Standing Stones. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the complex contained at least one other significant monolith - the Odin Stone of Orkney legend.
