Vandring

The King Stone is a standing stone in the Cotswolds, England, which dates back to the Bronze Age. It is believed to have been a marker for ancient trade routes or a ceremonial site.

The Whispering Knights dolmen was built in the early Neolithic period around 3,800BC, which predates the Stone Circle with over a thousand years and makes it one the earliest funerary monuments in Britain. It is a 'portal dolmen' burial chamber that consists of four upright stones and a large fallen capstone.

Archeologists have found early Neolithic, Beaker and early Bronze Age pottery in the immediate vicinity of the site, which suggests that the dolmen was venerated over many centuries.

The King Stone was erected in early to middle Bronze Age, probably around 1,500 BC. Rather than relating directly to the much older Neolithic Stone Circle, the King Stone was likely erected as a permanent memorial to the Bronze Age round cairn 17m across with a central chamber, which lies immediately to the north-east set exactly on the top the ridge.
