It may be in Wales.

Lots of trees in the background suggests East rather then West...

and each Midsummer's Eve, the capstone spins around three times and all the stones go to the nearby river to bathe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Lythans_burial_chamber

The archaeological thinking in 1959. From Londonderry Sentinel - Wednesday 9 December 1959
Noted Visitor To Giant's Ring The 4,000-year-old Giant's Ring at Ballylesson was visited last week by Dr. Glyn Daniel, the well-known radio and T.V. personality, who described it as "a most unusual and very rare type of monument". Dr. Daniel, a lecturer in archaeology and anthropology at St. John's, Cambridge, said he had wanted to see the structure for a long time. He examined the dolmen of nine large stones in the centre of the massive earthwork "ring" which is 250 yards in diameter and 15 feet high. . . It is „ believed that the dolmen and the earthwork were constructed as a funeral monument. The bank is divided into seven sections, and this indicates that the monument was probably erected by a monarch of seven confederate tribes.
