Geocache Description:

 Maeshowe and Barn House Standing Stone

This cache is a 500 ml cliplock container with logbook and pen with room for swaps and trackables.

The Barnhouse stone, now rather meanly surrounded by four straining posts and inaccessible in the middle of a field, lies south west of Maeshowe, almost in line with its entry passage, and south east of the Standing Stones.  Several alignments are possible from here, especially at summer solstice sunset, when the sun sets in the north west.  Endless speculation is possible about the role these fascinating stones played in the life of the Neolithic people.  This is all part of the fun of a visit to them!
