themagicfarawayttree:The Rollright Stones, a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments in Oxfordshire. Now known as The King’s Men, The King Stone and The Whispering Knights, each is distinct in design and purpose, and were built at different periods in late prehistory. The stretch of time during which the three monuments were erected here bears witness to a continuous tradition of ritual behavior on sacred ground, from the 4th to the 2nd millennium BCE.
