The Rollright Stones The Rollright Stones are a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments near the village of Long Compton, on the borders of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. They were constructed from local oolitic limestone and are thought to date to the 4th-2nd millennium bc, they are known as the King's Men, the Whispering Knights in Oxfordshire and the King Stone in Warwickshire. The King's Men is the stone circle consisting of 57 stones, the Whispering Knights is a collection of 6 stones, and the King Stone is by itself. The three create a triangle with the angles as 19°/58°/103° between them, if the area in feet is divided by 3600 a number near the vertical angle (62°) is produced with the perimeter divided by the horizontal angle (4°) producing 689ft. (This uses the measurements sides as 1250ft/1088ft/417ft) 221374÷3,600=61.5 2756÷4=689 1250÷1088=1.15 1088÷417=2.61 The ratios reducing give the numbers 1.15 and 2.61 but multipled give the foll
