Milfield North Henge
A reconstructed henge based on a nearby (100m) excavated henge monument dating to 2300BC.
I the central area of the henge three ancient burial pits were found, one containing a food vessel and burial the other two were too degraded. A stone cist was also found near the ‘entrance’ to the central area.
The henge was later used by the Anglo-Saxons as a burial place.
