    		In the neighbourhood of Oxford there are great stones, arranged as it were in some connection by the hand of man. But at what time; or by what people; or for what memorial or significance, is unknown. Though the place is called by the inhabitants Rollendrith.(1)

    There are three main elements to the Rollright Stones (the name is believed to derive from "Hrolla-landriht", the land of Hrolla.)

    Probably everything you need to know.
