Rollright Stones
England

A view of the Rollright Stones outside Long Compton, England, specificially the King's Men Stone Circle.  They consist of a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments constructed from local oolitic limestone.  They were built at different periods in late prehistory. During the period when the three monuments were erected, there was a continuous tradition of ritual behavior on sacred ground, from the 4th to the 2nd millennium BCE.

The first to be constructed was the Whispering Knights, a dolmen that dates to the Early or Middle Neolithic period. It was likely to have been used as a place of burial. This was followed by the King's Men, a stone circle that was constructed in the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age; unusually, it has parallels to other circles located further north, in the Lake District, implying a trade-based or ritual connection. The third monument, the King Stone, is a single monolith. Although its construction has not been dated, the dominant theory amongst archaeologists is that it was a Bronze Age grave marker.
