Stanydale is a hamlet on the island of Mainland, Shetland. The archaeological site of Stanydale Temple is less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the south of the crofters' houses.[1] There are three cairns on the ridge to the north of the hamlet, just over 100 feet (30 m) above the sea.[2] The west cairn was described in 1931 as "A round cairn, about 50' in diameter and 3' high, which has been much destroyed."[3]
