Less than 2 miles north-east of the famous Stonehenge stood another Neolithic-age monument but made of timber.
The postholes are of varying diameters and depths indicating that the posts were of differing heights.
The positions of the postholes are today marked with concrete posts.
Altogether, the henge has a diameter of 110 meters.
Another grave of a teenager was found on the Eastern section of the ditch, opposite the entrance.
The diameters of the concrete posts approximate to the size of posthole found.
The posts are color coded to indicate rings and those holes that did not fit into the regular pattern.
you’re able to still make out the remnants of the bank and the ditch.
Near the center is a cairn of flints which marks where the grave of a young child was found.
On the south side is an old concrete pillar with a brass description plate.
