SP2930	Great Rollright	The Rollright Stones: Morris Dancing at the Rollright Stone Circle	23 Jun	A King and his men turned to stone by a witch. The King was met by a witch (Mother Shipton from Shipton-under-Wychwood) who said: "Seven long strides shalt thou take, and if Long Compton thou canst see, King of England shalt thou be." On his seventh stride, however a mound came into sight which blocked his view of Long Compton. The witch then said " As Long Compton thou canst not see, King of England thou shalt not be. Rise up, stick, and stand still, stone, For King of England thou shalt be none, Thou and thy men hoar stones shall be, And I myself an eldern tree" Amongst the many elder trees which grow around this site is the old witch. The stones can not be counted. They go down to a brook to drink when they hear Long Compton Clock strike midnight. The stones will bring misfortune to any one who moves them from their current positions. One day the stones will come back to life as a King and his army who will rule the land. On Midsummer Eve when the elder tree was in blossom people would come to the King Stone and stand in a circle, the "eldern" was cut and as it bled the "King moved his head". People use to remove bits of stone to keep the Devil away.

SU0869	Beckhampton	Silbury Hill : On Palm Sunday local people would climb to the top for cakes, ale and merry making. Legend says that King Sil is buried here on horseback in a golden coffin or that the Devil dumped his shovel load of earth here. He was on his way to smother Avebury but met a cobbler with a sack of shoes and asked how far it was to Avebury. The cobbler told the Devil that he had worn out the sack of shoes walking from there, so the Devil gave up and dumped his load.	PalmSun
SU0970	Avebury		.	The Village in a Stone Circle. After centuries of building at the expense of the stones the village was almost completely distroyed when Alexander Keiller came along in the 1930's. Many of the stones were re- erected but his vision of a complete site with no houses was thwarted by some of the locals who continue to live here, now co-existing with the ancient site.

ST5963	Stanton Drew	Stanton Drew Stone Circle. Mid-summer eve, it fell on a Saturday... They danced, danced, danced all around,  Danced, danced to the fiddlers sound. They danced with a skip, they danced with a hop, It seemed that nothing could make them stop. "Stop", cried the dancers "No", cried the fiddler. He kept on playing in spite of all their moans. They couldn't stop their jerking and a-stumbling. Then in a flash he turned them all to stone. Another sad case of dancing into Sunday morning - be warned!	23Jun
