Henge and Curvilinear Enclosure in Northumberland. This site, unknown for a very long time, is currently in an area of controversy. It appears to have been documented in the 90's as a henge visible as cropmarks but that documentation was not made publically available until Sally Pattison uncovered it recently in her quest for more information about modern day plans to carry out open cast coal mining in the area.
This is from the documentation in a previous hearing concerning that area in the 90's.
"I consider that the Neolithic Henge and Curvilinear Enclosure or Crop Mark at the N. end of the (appeal) site would normally be regarded as an ancient monument. Also I would have expected from the brief description that the monument would be of more local significance.
The adjustments made to the proposals to accomodate this monument were just to avoid its physical damage, and I consider that both mounds S1 and M1 (development bunds) would plainly intrude on its setting"
Further details are available direct from www.savebebside.com
Sally has also set up a petition to save the henge from any future damage
