Indeed. I was at Rollrights at the weekend, and was appalled to see the Whispering Knights being used as a sort of Wishing Well! Coins were tossed all over it.

If people wish to donate money for the upkeep of the sites, there are better ways than littering the stones with coins, which can only serve to kill the delicate lichen growing there.

I mentioned this fact to the warden, and apparently a clearance of the coins is 'planned'...


I haven't been to the Rollrights since I lived in Hampshire so I'm going back some 25 years and none of that was happening then. What/who has created this apparent modern-day phenomona?
