3348: A pagan ritual in rural England - a podcast by Cities and Memory

Upon visiting an ancient historical site more than 5,000 years old in rural England, the Rollright Stones, we stumbled across a pagan May ritual being performed. The site consists of the evocatively-named King's Men stone circle, the King Stone and the Whispering Knights, each dating from a different historical era from 3,800 to 1,500 BC. 

The ritual involved hand drums, clapping and dancing, and friendly exhortations to all of the passers-by to get involved and join in. We politely declined, but recorded the sounds for you. 

Recorded by Cities and Memory.
