Knowlton Rings submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. This area of the henge seemed very mystical, probably an original entrance between the two yew trees when the church was in use?

Arminghall Henge
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Norfolk)
Visited: Yes on 8th Nov 2007
Arminghall Henge submitted by AngieLake on 8th Nov 2007. This plan caught my eye because of the horseshoe shape of the posts that used to stand in the centre of Arminghall. I wonder if the builders of Stonehenge were influenced by this site?
In 'Circles & Standing Stones' by Evan Hadingham [1978 edition, where this pic was found], he says that the site is carbon-dated to 3400 BC.
