Henges in Yorkshire (North), England
22 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
North Yorkshire is the largest county in England covering 3200 square miles. The landscape in the county is divided into two rough areas - the moors and the dales, with the Yorkshire coast edging the eastern side of the moors. The area has been occupied for many thousands of years and evidence of this exists today in the form of howes, standing stones, stone circles and rock art. Many of which are easily accessible to the visitor.
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)
