This monument is also scheduled as Historic England List ID 1012724, which tells us: "The monument includes a henge monument lying on a gravel terrace north of the River Ure in the Vale of Mowbray. The monument comprises a subcircular enclosure surrounded by a bank and internal ditch with two opposing entrances on the northern and southern sides. The bank is much reduced, but still visible in places as a slight earthwork. The internal diameter of the enclosure ranges from 97m to 100m and the external diameter from 200m to 210m. The bank is up to 18m wide with entrances 15m wide on the northern side and 8m wide on the southern side. Excavations in 1961 revealed the ditch to be 13.7m wide and 1.8m deep. The monument is one of a series of henge monuments located in the Vale of Mowbray."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this site - see their entry for Nunwick Henge, Ripon, North Yorkshire, which has a detailed archaeology & history, an early aerial photograph of the henge and a ground plan from 1963.
