Weatherhill Henge
Weatherhill Henge submitted by vieveforward : Weatherhill (or Everleigh) henge, on MoD land, is demarcated by posts, painted white at the top, which are there to be clearly visible to tanks both day and night. There is little to see of the henge itself, which is virtually completely ploughed out. I visited the site in April 2015 on a guided tour led by former County Archaeologist, Roy Canham.

Weatherhill (or Everleigh) henge is a Neolithic Scheduled Monument on part of Salisbury Plain used by the MOD. The henge is demarcated by posts, painted white at the top in order to be clearly visible to tanks both day and night.

There is little to see of the henge itself, which is virtually completely ploughed out.

The site can only be visited when no army exercises are taking place nearby, and is only a short walk from a parking place.
