Standing stones, orthostats, liths or more commonly, megaliths because of their large and cumbersome size, are solitary stones set vertically in the ground and come in many different varieties. Where they appear in groups together, often in a circular, oval, or horseshoe formation, or henge. They are sometimes called megalithic monuments. These are sites of ancient religious ceremonies, sometimes containing burial chambers.
Standing stones are usually difficult to date, but, pottery found underneath some in Atlantic Europe connects them with the Beaker people; others in the region appear to be earlier or later however.
