Named after the Devil, who is said to drink water from the rocky hollows of the massive capstone, the Devil's Den is a dolmen burial chamber and part of a neolithic passage grave on Fyfield Hill, just outside the pretty Wiltshire town of Marlborough. The former entrance now comprises two standing stones, a capstone and two fallen stones. This section was reconstructed in 1921, when the burial chamber was recorded as being around 70 metres (230 ft) long, with the capstone weighing some 17 tons.
