The stones take their name from the finely carved deer which are found on one or more of their four sides, although the deer can also be accompanied by depictions of the sun, moon, a mirror, a belt, a pentagonal pattern, a knife, an axe, or a bow and arrow. A few stones are carved with representations of other animals such as a boar, a horse and a tiger. The Deer Stones are often encircled by small stone rings, excavation of which has revealed the skulls, neck bones and hooves of horses. These monuments have been dated to 2000-1000 BC.
