CONON HENGE

 

This monument is a very well preserved henge, or ritual enclosure, of prehistoric date, probably Neolithic - 4000 BC to 2401 BC. The henge is about 26-26m in diameter, and consists of a flat oval area surrounded by a ditch 2.7m wide, with an outer bank 3.6m wide. There is an entrance causeway through the ditch to the South East, but there is no corresponding break through the bank.

The West boundary of the area scheduled measures 36m, the North boundary 38m, the East boundary 42m and the South boundary 38m, to include the henge and an area around in which traces of activities associated with the construction and use of the henge may survive, as shown in the two photographs below.
