The Whispering Knights
The Whispering Knights is the remains of a portal dolmen-type burial chamber of about 4000 BC. Four stones stand upright, while a fifth, probably the capstone, lies fallen. The stones would never have been covered by a mound; rather they projected out of a low flat-topped platform that surrounded the setting.
The Whispering Knights is part of The Rollright Stones complex.
The Whispering Knights is in Cotswolds AONB, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
