The chamber is part of a neolithic passage grave on Fyfield Down. Two standing stones, a capstone and two fallen stones are all that remain of what was the entrance to a long mound, described in the 1920s as being around 230 ft long.[1] The capstone is believed to weigh 17 tons.[2] The burial chamber was reconstructed in 1921.[1][3] The dolmen was named after the devil, along with many other prehistoric remains, after the coming of Christianity.[4] A local tradition said that if water was poured into hollows on the capstone, a demon would come in the night and drink it.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1497 |title=Devils Den - Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in England |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=11 November 2012}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Devil's Den, The}}2. ^1 {{cite book |title=The Lore of the Land: A Guide To England's Legends |first= |last=Westwood & Simpson |authorlink= |publisher=Penguin Books Ltd |location= |year=2006 |isbn=0141021039 |pages=928}} 3. ^{{cite book |title=The Antiquaries Journal, January 1922, Volume 2, Issue 1 |first= |last= |authorlink= |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location= |year=1922 |isbn= |page=60}} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Brewer's Britain and Ireland |first= |last=Ayto & Crofton |authorlink= |publisher=Weidenfeld & Nicolson |location= |year=2005 |isbn=030435385X |page=318}} 3 : Archaeological sites in Wiltshire|History of Wiltshire|Dolmens in England |
