Henges in Cheshire, England
1 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
When reading through books on the history of Cheshire, prehistory is often consigned to a couple of pages or a small chapter at most, and in general historians have led us to believe that nothing of real importance occurred in the county until the coming of the Romans. However, upon further investigation it becomes quite clear that there was once, and indeed still is, a rich prehistoric landscape, particularly in the east of the county on the western slopes of the Pennines around Macclesfield and the eastern slopes of the mid-Cheshire Ridge near Delamere.
Roughly circular prehistoric earthwork consisting of a non-defensive ditch and bank with a level plateau in the centre. A henge does not have to contain a stone circle but many do - (see the separate listing)
