Klingon saw from a distance on 4th Aug 2018 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Actually, there's nothing left to see.
The site was discovered in the early 1990´s via aerial photography. Excavations were carried out in 2004, 2005 and 2011. The henge consists of two concentric rings and has a diameter of 80 m. Pieces of pottery and remains of human bones were found in the henge. The radiocarbon dating of the bones revealed that they stem from the time between 2150 und 1740 BC. The henge was surrounded by a Bronze Age / Iron Age barrow cemetery.
