The Rollright Stones is a Neolithic and Bronze Age stone circle complex located on the border between Oxfordshire and Warwickshire in the Cotswolds. The monument comprises three distinct elements: the King's Men, a stone circle of approximately seventy stones; the Whispering Knights, a dolmen or burial chamber; and the King Stone, an isolated standing stone, together spanning a considerable landscape area. The King's Men circle dates to the Neolithic period, whilst the Whispering Knights represents a Neolithic chambered tomb, with Bronze Age activity also evidenced at the site. The stones remain substantially in their original positions and the site has long been significant in local tradition and folklore, though it has undergone various states of preservation and disturbance over the centuries since its construction.
