The Rollright Stones
The Rollright Stones are a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments. These were constructed from local oolitic limestone, and comprise of three separate monuments. These are known as The King's Men (pictured above), The King Stone and The Whispering Knights, and are each distinct in their design and purpose, and were each built at different periods in late prehistory.
It was used as a gathering place for witches. Curious stories are associated with the location such as the folkloric story that tells of how the stones had once been a king and his knights who had been turned to stone by a witch. For more information, please visit www.rollrightstones.co.uk
