It also has a legendary past associated with the occult and the hanging of witches!

Damn, that is a unique stone. I bet if you did some excavation you would probably find more evidence. Of course, you won't get that chance :)
I didn't realize it was 8 foot tall! I thought it was an itty bitty stone and you were laying on the ground.

Yes that's right. But Rollright Stones (the large ones) have metal fencing around, and are a bit of a new age zoo with lots of visitors, so much less easy to photograph (even as slightly closer too me).
