Benie Hoose
Benie Hoose, also Bunyie Hoose, is a Neolithic site in the parish of Nesting, northeastern Whalsay, in the Shetland Islands of Scotland.
It is located approximately to the northwest of the Standing Stones of Yoxie, and about southeast of the Pettigarths Field Cairns.〔 Benie Hoose and Yoxie demonstrate characteristics of 'paired houses'. It was excavated in 1954–1955 by Charles S. T. Calder who gave the items to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in 1955–1956.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Whalsay, Benie Hoose )〕 Furthermore, its close proximity to Yoxie indicates that Druid priests probably lived in the house and performed ceremonies at the stones. OS (NKB) visited the site on 30 May 1968.〔 The one-room site measures , and features a horned forecourt.
==Layout==
The Benie Hoose is laid out in the form of a figure of eight, to the southeast of Pettigarths Field, about 30m from the lower hill slopes of Gamla Vord. The front elevation is curved and with a courtyard in horn shape. It has no similarity with other dwelling units (70 units seen here) but has identity with the Yoxie monument. The main block is of length and width while the forecourt is wide. The main block is set towards the hill. The walls are made of dry stones of thickness. The large number of tools and querns found here attests to the domestic nature of the Benie Hoose. There is a passage leading from the entrance. The complex has an elaborate drainage system which ensured that the interior remained dry. The floor of the chamber had stone flooring. The forecourt is D shaped and is conjectured as an animal pen. No stone made furniture was found which has led to the conclusion that the furniture must have been made of wood.
