EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the picturesque village of Gittisham, in the heart of Devon, England, stands a mysterious and enigmatic ancient monument known as The Rolling Stone. This intriguing stone, located at Putts Corner, is a subject of local folklore and archaeological intrigue. According to legend, on nights when the moon is full, the stone miraculously rolls down the gentle slope towards the River Sid. The belief is that this ancient ritual was once a sacrificial practice, with the blood of the sacrifices washing away in the river. The origins of this fascinating tale are shrouded in mystery, with some suggesting that it may date back to prehistoric times. Others believe that it could be linked to the ancient Celtic or Roman cultures that once inhabited the area. Regardless of its origins, the legend of The Rolling Stone continues to captivate the imaginations of locals and visitors alike. Archaeologists have studied the site extensively, but have yet to uncover any definitive evidence to support the legend. However, the presence of several other ancient monuments in the area, such as the medieval Gittisham Castle and the Neolithic tomb known as the Longstone, add to the intrigue. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the legend of The Rolling Stone remains a cherished part of Devonshire folklore. Visitors to the area can still witness the stone in its resting place, waiting for the next full moon to roll down to the River Sid and continue the ancient ritual, if only in the minds of those who believe.
