La Longue Rocque megalithic standing stone, from a distance, at the Les Paysans Road in the island of Guernsey in the United Kingdom.

The king of Munster who once rules these lands had seven daughters and two sons. His rival was also a powerful clan chief and the time came when the king had to defend his land. One fateful day the army rode out to battle with the king and his two sons at the head of it. Although victorious, it came at a great cost, as both sons were killed in the fight. The army marched back to the castle, on route passing the ancient druids stone circle that had stood for millennia. The king dispatched a contingent of men to the sacred site and in his grief, he instructed them to push over two of the nine standing stones. This would forever commemorate his two fallen sons. The seven sisters remain standing to this day….

Avebury is the site of the largest and oldest (2600BC) stone circle in the world, predating Stonehenge. The stone circle encloses the village of Avebury, and has two smaller circles within. Additionally, two ancient chalk paths lead to this site. Many of the stones have been lost to misguided inhabitants throughout the ages, but now the site is protected by the National Trust, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Just beyond the ring is a wide ditch, going completely around the stone circle. Whatever culture performed whatever rituals with this construction has not been agreed upon by historians. This stone looks just like a druid in robes, to me!
