Standing Stones
Across the world there have been found various large quarried and cut or rough boulders staged up as a "standing stone" in fields, lots, forests, and hilltops.
Stone Circles
Stone Circles can be found worldwide but are most notorious in the British, Irish, and Scottish landscapes. Stones can be small, medium, and large, often dug into the ground as deep as they rise above the ground. A Stone Circle is a circular ring of stones, often with a defined entrance between two stones, with arrangements often related to the path of the rising and setting sun or the moon at sacred times of the year or in geographic alignment with other sites, hills, and circles.
