Cana Henge HD Aerial Shot, ​Elevation projection and KML file by Andy B on Tuesday, 04 February 2020
(User Info | Send a Message)
Yorkshire Archaeological Aerial Mapping write: Cana barn is one of the great henges aligned from the Devils Arrows in Boroughbridge to the great henge complex at Thornborough.

Although Cana Henge is barely visible on the ground a good image is captured using normal aerial photography. When the elevation image is processed the results are remarkable and reveal this huge neolithic temple in all its glory.

On their page they have an HD Aerial Shot, ​Elevation projection and KML file

There was a tumulus in the adjacent field to the NE of the henge ,about 250 m N.E. of the centre of the henge .

    Ah yes, as shown on Magic Map, and again ties in nicely to the brown circle on Google maps aerial view.

I visited this site with a colleague on Tuesday 23rd. August 2011. Parking is good at Cana Barn. I think the position of the Henge, as given on the maps is either wrong or there is a Stone Circle positioned outside the accepted boundary.
We dowsed and discovered the site of a Stone Circle, the centre of which is about 250 metres NNE of the centre of the Henge as shown on the maps.
We also found a Standing Stone, still in its original position although now inclined at an angle of about 45 degrees and well hidden in a thicket of nettles, low shrubbery and the overhanging branches of a tree! Further investigation is required.

    A new stone circle? great find. How many stones remain, what's the diameter and the stones size and spacing please? I guess your 250m NNE of the henge puts it in the little wooded area?

    Looking on Google maps aerial pictures (use blue aeroplane icon at top of page), the circle of the henge can be seen, and as compared to the 1:2500 map, it is slightly larger, with the henge also being in the field to the northwest, not just the one shown on the map.

    Whereabouts is the standing stone to be found in relation?

      The remaining stone is well hidden in a dense clump of nettles, half-covered by a piece of rotting timber, hedge and low-hanging tree branches. It's almost at the junction of two hedges at 54 degrees, 8 minutes, 33.87 seconds North; 1 degree, 26 minutes, 53.94 seconds West.
      It is in its original position and was not part of the Stone Circle but it was part of the whole Henge Complex.
      It is now inclined at an angle of about 40 degrees from the verticle and would stand about three feet high if vertical.

Park near Cana barn and it is a short walk to the site of the henge shown on OS Explorer Map. There is nothing visible on the ground, just an arable field. Ignore the huge pile of ferliliser at the top of the field :-)
