The Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire for #StandingStoneSunday

A would-be King of England and his army, turned to stone by a witch: The King Stone stands apart from the rest, his soldiers in a great ring. Three knights huddle together, whispering treason, or perhaps prayers. The witch's rhyme is in the screenshot.

The Whispering Knights are the remains of a Neolithic chambered tomb.

Visited January 2010.
