Inscription on tourist board: "The Rollright Stones The King's Men Stone Circle The Rollright Stones consist of three monuments: the Whispering Knights burial chamber, King's Men stone circle and King Stone standing stone, ranging in date from about 3,500 to 1,500 BC. The King's Men stone circle was a gathering place for Neolithic people around 4,500 years ago. It is built of natural limestone boulders that were found within about 500m of the site. It originally formed a complete ring of stones with an entrance opposite the tallest stone marked by two 'portal' stones. Its design is similar to stone circles in Cumbria."
