Sionhill Farm, East Claydon, Buckinghamshire
On Google earth, I have noticed 2-3 henge like a set of crop marks. In a field south east of Sionhill Farm near to a tributary of the Claydon Brook. I have noticed that the crop marks are very similar shape and size to the 2 henge’s at Eamont Bridge 2km south of Penrith Cumbria, as shown on Google earth.
I have not rule out that it may also be a set of Roman temples, because a Roman rd from Fleet Marston (Nr Aylesbury, Bucks) disappears without trace a few hundred feet south of the crop marks near to a stream. And the road aim straight for the crop marks.
The true explanation would only be of course answered by excavation, but I would rather find the answer out from other people’s experiences and with what I have learned through studying crop marks and maps.
One thing I need to find out is what the farmer calls the field that they are in as it may also be another clue.
BB, Ulmus.
