Rollright Stones: The King Stone, 1 - a photo on Flickriver

A standing stone, made of local oolitic limestone and known traditionally as the King Stone, one of three megalithic monuments within a small area, known collectively as the Rollright Stones (see on Pleiades, on the border between Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, UK. The King Stone is less well-dated than the other two monuments, but is likely to have been a marker of a Bronze Age barrow, ca. 2nd quarter 2nd millennium BCE (ca. 1800-1500 BCE).
