Dwarfie Stane (Dwarf's Stone)
Hoy, Orkney, United Kingdom
In a steep-sided valley on the island of Hoy, a massive block of red sandstone lies in desolate peatland. Look closer and you find an entrance—a square opening cut into the rock. Enter if you can fit, and you crawl into a chamber hollowed out 5,000 years ago using only stone tools and antler picks. This is the Dwarfie Stane, the only Neolithic rock-cut tomb in Britain. Norse settlers called it Dvergasteinn, the Dwarf Stone, associating it with supernatural beings who lived in rock. The cramped chambers seemed fit for diminutive creatures. Today's visitors squeeze through the same entrance, occupying space shaped by Neolithic hands.
