Reckoned to be as old as Duggleby Howe, and a similar size: seven and a half meters high and thirty six and a half meters in diameter.
Attempts at finding its secrets in 1857 and again thirty years later yielded nothing. A pit about nine feet deep was discovered but was bereft of objects or human ...

Marden Henge
Date Added: 24th Apr 2016
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
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.
