Henge in South Lanarkshire
The henge measures 91m by 66m from crest to crest of the bank, with the longer side aligned about 10 E of N. Along each side the bank is reasonably well preserved, standing at least 1.8m in height externally and 0.9m internally. Except on the E side of the S entrance, the ends of the bank have, however, been reduced and distorted by the plough. The ditch measures 10.7m in average width and up to 0.5m in depth.
