Doctor Who: The Music of the Dolmen

A lonely Irish field. An ancient stone table the locals dare not cross after dusk. And music—sweet, wordless, and terrible—drifting over the hedgerows at twilight.
When the TARDIS sets down near Haroldstown Dolmen in nineteenth-century County Carlow, the Doctor dismisses it as a simple megalith. But the parish books tell another story: of vanished boys and broken fiddle-bows left upon the stone; of a lady in green velvet singing the living down into silence. Investigating beneath the dolmen, the Doctor discovers a chamber of whispering figures—neither alive nor dead—while the song coils tighter around his companions.
What lies under the stone is no tomb—but a trap still feeding. To save Ian, Barbara and Susan from the music’s call, the Doctor must confront the intelligence that plays human souls like strings… before the last note falls.
