- (3:19) "They bilt the Power Ring thats where you see the Ring Ditch now. They put in the 1 Big 1"
This is one of two conflicting explanations for the legendary disaster.

The common theme is the danger of power. As Lorna says (20:14), "You hear diffrent things in all them way back storys but it dont make no diffrents."
There are circular formations all over England known as "ring ditches"; in most cases, no one knows what kind of ancient structures they were once part of.
