Standing Stones of Yoxie

The Standing Stones of Yoxie is a Neolithic site in the parish of Nesting on the northeastern coast of Whalsay, in the Shetland islands of Scotland.

It is located approximately 100 yards (91 m) to the southeast of Benie Hoose, not far from the steep cliffs of Yoxie Geo.

[2] The structure is the remains of a building in a neolithic settlement called Pettigarths Field, about 4,000 years old, which also includes a megalithic tomb[3] and Benie Hoose.

[12] The placement and layout of the Benie Hoose and Yoxie seem very close to records of temples and priestly dwellings in Malta.

[11] One large vessel found in Yoxie was very similar to a plain Bipartite Urn, possibly used for storing barley.
