‘Long Meg and her Daughters’ is an ancient stone circle in Cumbria, from about 1500 BC. Legend says that Meg (the tall red sandstone pillar) and her daughters (the granite circle) were turned to stone for conducting pagan rites on the Lord’s Day, and also that one cannot count the stones from within the circle and get the same number twice.
