Log Text: I'm quite used to seeing offerings (?) left at prehistoric sites such as crystals, beads, coins etc - which are often placed into holes in the stones. This afternoon (24/11/2010) when I visited the Whispering Knights, it looked like the stones were in the bottom of a wishing well for the sheer number of coins deposited on and in them. Two Pence seems to be the most common deposition.
