The Hanging Stones
The Hanging Stones by Manly Wade Wellman
A Silver John story, Works as a stand-alone.
He's the narrator. His wife went off to show quilts at the state fair, so he went off to look at a replica of Stonehenge being built.
This involves twigs being hung as a warning to leave, conjuring that did not leave folks happy, protection against silver weapons, two men (with no connection) who are wise about these matters, a helicopter and its pilot, an overconfident millionaire, and more.
I note that he's an Appendix N writer. When I read The Old Gods Waken, the influence seemed vague. This one shows more elements that D&D used.
