Rollright Stones
Rollright Stones, Stone circle and dolmen in Long Compton, England.
Rollright Stones consists of three separate stone monuments: a circle of standing stones, a single upright stone, and a burial chamber made of several blocks. The structures lie scattered across neighboring fields on the boundary between Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
The burial chamber was built around 3800 BC, making it the earliest of the three structures. The stone circle followed later in the Late Neolithic, around 2500 BC.
The circle takes its name from an old tale in which a king and his soldiers were turned to stone. Visitors today can still see the separate formations named after this legend, standing in the fields close to the road.
The site sits on private land and requires an entry fee paid through an honesty box at the entrance. The stone circle can be visited in all weather, but solid footwear is advisable since the paths cross grassy fields.
The circle stones stand so close together that they once formed a closed wall. This arrangement sets the site apart from most other prehistoric circles in the British Isles.
