The Rollright Stones
The King’s Men Stone Circle
The Rollright Stones consist of three monuments: the Whispering Knights burial chamber, King’s Men stone circle and King Stone standing stone, spanning c.3,800 to 1,500 BC.

This ceremonial stone circle probably dates to c.2,500BC. Its design is typical of north-west England, eastern Ireland and Wales. The number of legendary ’men’ is said to be uncountable.
