The Hill O Many Stanes is a south-facing hillside, about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) south of Wick in Caithness, in the Highland area of Scotland, which has about 200 upright stones, none more than half a metre high, set out in rows running approximately north and south with the incline. The rows are not parallel, however, and they create a fan-shaped pattern. This arrangement is believed to be a relic of Bronze Age times.
