The house was built on the site of a prehistoric stone circle or henge and this has given it its name. The remains of the circle are still visible with one stone incorporated into the south-east corner of the chapel. See the Stonor Park article for a more detailed description of the circle.

Where seven anemones with down-dropped heads
Wept tears of dew upon the stone beneath.”
