Situated atop a limestone ridge just north of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, this ancient site is not a single circle, but three separate groups of stones that include a stone circle, a solitary standing stone, and a cromlech, or burial mound. Together, the three clustered sites span the period 3,800-1500 BC.

The stone circle is in a small clearing just behind a belt of trees atop the ridge. The circle measures about one hundred feet across (31m), and the stones are fairly small, ranging from several inches high to almost 9 feet tall. Perhaps because of the secluded location, the circle has an atmosphere of quiet mystery. The circle is also known as the King's Men.
