More about this scene

Beneath a clump of trees near Aylesford, Kent, is a confused group of sarsen stones, some twenty in number, which probably formed a Neolithic burial chamber 5,000 years ago. Now known as Little Kit's Coty House, the stones were believed to help barren women to conceive. It was also said that you could never count the stones more than once and come to the same total - hence its name.
