@cgledhill: Thornborough Henges are sometimes called the Stonehenge of the North. Unlike Stonehenge or Avebury, which have lots of standing stones, these 3 henges are just the earthworks. There may have once been wooden posts and structures here. What do you think these 3 giant 4500-year old circles on the landscape were for? #historytok #bronzeage #historyhike #exploring #stonehenge

Very interesting. The area is taken care and not over grown, so is this National Land that is preserved or someone’s property?

I’d say they are for selling livestock etc. like a meeting place for selling and trading stuff.

it was provably something as mundane as fenced, designated areas to hold livestock overnight, for fear of wolf attacks, or something along those lines.

Crazy cool to be able to go and see this stuff. In NJ the oldest thing we have is revolutionary war relics

Just a farm kid here, but The raised center of each looks to be about the land area one could farm with wooden or stone hand tools. I suspect they were for crops. Having 3 allowed for essentials of oats, peas/beans, and barley to be rotated annually. Raised pathway between meant your feet were dry while farming. Raised edges gathered water in the internal moat for irrigation. They could also be used as fence-less pastures, moving your herd between the 3 to allow for grass recovery.

maybe it was as simple as an ancient way to move or collect water away from a settlement?

Apparently, it was fashionable at that time to build circles. Unfortunately, we know very little about the history.

They’re also not intervisible. As you walk from one to the other you walk up slight banks which hide them until you’re close to each henge. It’s a beautiful place.

I love the theory of them being like a game field or amphitheaters

I wonder if any of the inside or surrounding areas have ever been excavated for artifacts: pottery, arrow or spear heads, etc. I’m sure something cool could be found.
