Chirbury
Chirbury submitted by TimPrevett : The location of the ring ditch, possible henge, west from Chirbury. Just an apparently empty field. The road to its south runs higher, and this photo is taken from the road. The crop mark was certainly in this field, and the approximate area has been circle. Size of the circle has no bearing upon the size of the ring ditch. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Henge in Shropshire

Site of suggested henge in far west Shropshire. Only identified from crop marks from aerial photography. Possibly some 60 feet in diameter with two entrances, around a ditch and external bank.
