A menhir (French, from Middle Breton: maen, "stone" and hir, "long"), standing stone, orthostat, lith or masseba/matseva is a large upright standing stone. Menhirs may be found singly as monoliths, or as part of a group of similar stones. Their size can vary considerably, but their shape is generally uneven and squared, often tapering towards the top. Menhirs are widely distributed across Europe, Africa and Asia, but are most numerous in Western Europe; in particular in Ireland, Great Britain and Brittany. There are about 50,000 megaliths in these areas, while there are 1,200 menhirs in northwest France alone. Standing stones are usually difficult to date, but pottery found underneath some in Atlantic Europe connects them with the Beaker people. They were constructed during many different periods across pre-history as part of a larger megalithic culture that flourished in Europe and beyond.
Some menhirs have been erected next to buildings that often have an early or current religious significance. One example is the South Zeal Menhir in Devon, which formed the basis for a 12th-century monastery built by lay monks. The monastery later became the Oxenham Arms hotel, at South Zeal, and the standing stone remains in place in the ancient snug bar at the hotel.
An epic tour of the ancient standing stones of Britain and Ireland. This unforgettable quest of discovery uncovers the extent and variety of our incredible megalithic heritage.

TES V Skyrim Soundtrack - Standing Stones CD 2 Track 13
Lyrics: In one of these lonely Orkney Isles There dwelled a maiden fair. Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue She had yellow, curling hair. Which caught the eye and then the heart Of one who could never be A lover of so true a mind Or fair a form as she. Across the lake in Sandwick Dwelled a youth she held most true,And ever since her infancy He had watched these eyes so blue. The land runs out to the sea -It's a narrow neck of land - Where weird and grim the Standing Stones In a circle where they stand. One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve They met at that sad place. With her heart in glee and the beams of love Were shining on her face When her lover came and he grasped her hand And what loving words they said They talked of future's happy days, As through the stones they strayed.

"This is a place i was shown 15 years ago. Located in East Texas between Gilmer and Holly Lake. Its a set of 8 huge stones that are set perfectly with true north. Its on a back-road that you have to park at an old oil pump. Then jump a fence and walk a wooded walkway for a quarter mile. Then it opens up to a perfectly manicured grass field surrounded by pines. The field is almost 200yds in diameter. I have researched its purpose to no avail. Only located silly ghost stories on the web. The most northern stone stands at almost 40 ft. The only clue to who owns or the purpose is a head stone at the edge of the woods that says " THE STANDING STONES " followed by 4 mans names. After researching the names their is no local or semi local hits on these gentleman. Its private property and their are...

Okay, so this is my first ever vlog and I thought I would like to share you all my experience at Standing Stones 2016: Dear Heart. (And sorry if some of the videos are the same throughout this vlog) There were a lot of new faces and old faces, but the whole experience was to open your heart to God and letting him do his work; and yes, a lot of the campers, including myself, were broken in many different ways. However, I also learned that you shouldn't just rely on God during your broken moments...you should rely on him all the time.

In one of these lonely Orkney Isles
There dwelled a maiden fair,
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue
She has yellow curling hair.
Which caught the eye and then the heart
Of one who could never be
A lover of so true a maid
Or fair a form as she.
Across the lake in Sandwick
Dwelled a youth she held most true,
And ever since her infancy
He had watched those eyes so blue.
The land runs out into the sea -
It's a narrow neck of land -
Where weird and grim the Standing Stones
In a circle where they stand.
One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve
They met at that sad place.
With her heart in glee and the beams of love
Were shining on her face.
When her lover came he grasped her hand
And what loving words they said.
They talked of future's happy days,
As through the stones they strayed.
They walked towards the lover's stone
And through it passed their hands,
They plighted there a constant troth
Sealed by love's steadfast bands.
He kissed his maid and then he watched her
That lonely bridge go o'er,
Fo little, little did he think
He wouldn't see his darling more.
Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles
Gazing out to sea
Standing Stones of the Orkeny Isles
Bring my love to me.
He turned his face toward his home
That home he did never see.
And you shall have the story as it was told to me.
When a form upon him sprang
With a daggar gleaming bright.
It pierced his heart and his dying screams
Disturbed the silent night.
The maid had nearly reached her home
When she was startled by a cry.
And she turned to look around her
and her love was standing by,
His hand was pointing to the stars
And his eyes glazed at the light,
And with a smiling countenance
He vanished from her sight.
She quickly turned around and home she ran
Not a word of this was said,
For well she knew at seeing his form
That her faithful was dead.
And from that day she pined away,
Not a smile in her face.
And with outstretched arms she went to meet him
