The Torhouse Stones

The Torhouse Stones is a ring of stones just to the west of Wigtown. Nineteen stones make up a circle, while three stones are placed in the middle. The place has never been excavated, and local legends tell of a king being buried underneath it, after getting himself killed by the Romans in AD 80. Probably, it's much older than that; up to 4,000 years has been mentioned as its age.

If this doesn't inspire you to tear off your clothes and dance around naked in moonlight, I don't know what will.
