History & archaeology
A place made over generations
The Whispering Knights chambered tomb, the King’s Men circle and the solitary King Stone were created many centuries apart.
Excavation and restoration have revealed a long history of attention, damage and repair. The weathered limestone circle belongs to the later prehistoric phase.
Stories, beliefs & mysteries
Meaning through time
The grouping became a powerful ritual landscape over time, though its monuments did not begin as a single unified design.
A witch is said to have turned a king and his army to stone. The circle has rich traditions of counting, dancing, fertility and modern Pagan observance.
