Apparently, if you run backwards around the ring of trees seven times at midnight on Midsummer's Eve, the Devil will appear and offer you a bowl of porridge. If you accept, he will take your soul in exchange for your dearest wish.

There is some really weird folklore about Chanctonbury Ring.
Man, I'd be pissed if all I got out of the deal was a bowl of porridge..but then again the English can be pretty strange...might make for a catchy t-shirt slogan though...
