Please can someone let me know the name and location of the largest Cromlech in the Uk and the World?
It must be still standing

I remember reading somewhere that the largest capstone on a cromlech in Britain was reputed to be the one topping St. Lythan's in Wales (8 yards by 3, around 50 tons).
Dunno about the largest overall though...
Anyway, it's not the size of your cromlech, but what you do with it...
