Standing Stones of Yoxie, Neolithic standing stones in Whalsay, Shetland Islands, Scotland.
The stone structure measures 55 feet by 37 feet and features two upright stones standing 3 feet tall within a grassy mound near Yoxie Geo cliffs.
Excavations conducted between 1954 and 1955 revealed stone implements and pottery fragments dating from the Neolithic period through the Iron Age.
The structure contains a circular forecourt and an inner chamber with a clover leaf plan, suggesting connections to temple designs found in Malta.
The archaeological site sits approximately 100 yards east of Benie Hoose and contains walls averaging 10 feet in thickness with large portal stones marking the entrance.
The structure incorporates megaliths into its walls rather than standing independently, forming an L-shaped block to the west and a smaller forecourt to the east.
