There are two major Stonecircles located on Orkney Islands. Stennes is the smaller ring, but using the bigger stones. When I arrived there I donnot know - and I didnot learn until today - how to act the historic correct way. I mean: Do I have to stand inbetween the stones, to look outside. Or do I have to stand outside the ring, looking in. Which leads to the question: From a stone's point of view - were is the frontside, what is the backside? Maybe this is not important at all?
I understand that scientist tend to the opinion ancient folks did their meeting inside the circle, looking out - for example to the moon. But were there same time people standing around the circle, watching the druids play?
Obiverously there were changes, as soon as the vikings indigrate stonecircles in their rituals. Vikings located their burial places around the circles, not inside them.
No matter who did what inside or out: Pic shows two of the stones seen from sideward.
