Marden Henge
Trip No.15 Entry No.5 Date Added: 6th May 2018
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jun 2010. My rating: Access 5
Marden Henge submitted by Jansold on 24th Jul 2015. View of excavations during summer 2015.
Marden Henge is the biggest henge in England but because it did not have a stone circle associated with it, has tended to be overlooked. A huge mound, like a smaller version of Silbury Hill, named Hatfield Barrow, once existed within the henge, but it was levelled in the 19th C.
Foundations have been excavated within the henge that could have been a Neolithic sauna, containing a sunken hearth that would have given out intense heat.
