All the stones look heavily eroded.<br \/>\nThe large stone circle, restored in the 19th century, is thought to be a ritual circle, and the Knights are the remains of a funeral barrow. The stones represent 2000 years of Neolithic and Bronze Age development. There are other relics, not visible to the untrained eye, in the area.<br \/>\nThe site is owned by the Rollright Trust, and there is a charge of \u00a31 for admission.
