Rendall

Rendall (Old Norse: Rennudalr[1] or Rennadal[2]) is a parish on Mainland, Orkney, Scotland.

[4][5] The Hall of Rendall is a settlement mound containing prehistoric structures, possibly a broch but that is doubted, and the remains of a medieval church.

Human remains are regularly recovered from the beach and eroding sections near the church.

[8] Tingwall is from the Old Norse place-name 'Thing-völlr', meaning 'thing-field' and the first mention of it occurs in the 12th-century Orkneyinga Saga.

[10] Excavations of three of the barrows at Seven Knowes in 1998 found two had centrally placed cremation cists.
