Conservationists have described how they have restored a rare medieval earth and grass maze in north Lincolnshire, but said they are no closer to solving the mystery of why and when it was made.
Julian's Bower is cut into the landscape at Alkborough and is a twisting and turning labyrinth of interlocking rings measuring 44ft across.
English Heritage unveiled the reopened monument after a major returfing operation.

The Times article also has a photo
Note they say 'they are no closer to solving the mystery of why and when it was made.'
As turf mazes are such unusual and undatable sites linked with so much folklore we have a category for them and a site page for this one here:
