Stone of Setter, standing stone and enclosure, Eday

The Stone of Setter is an extremely tall sandstone monolith of irregular shape. It dates to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, probably around 2nd millennium BC. It measures approximately 4.5 m in height, 2.1 m in width, and the stone varies in thickness from 90 cm at the base to 35 cm at the center. It is deeply weathered with heavy vertical lines and stands in its original placement. The monolith sits on the south edge of a circular platform 10 m in diameter, and 20 cm in height. Outside of the Stones of Stenness, this monument is the tallest monolith in Orkney. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1936.
