Brodgar has a rock-cut ditch doesn't it...are some, or all the the standing stones set into the bedrock as well?


I love Brodgar though have only been there once. I don't know the answer to your question but am sure others do. Will be very interested to read some of the replies to this.


I spent two days there June out of the seven, loved the place but never asked the question at the time and never thought of it to be honest! Damn hard work if they were!


Just found this. It looks like some must have been. That's a dig and half isn't it...wow! Can you imagine digging a socket out for a stone here.
