Thornborough Henges

Thornborough Henges are three neolithic sites where standing stones were sited. They are amongst the most important such sites in Britain and are aligned in the same off-centre alignment seen at other triple-circles in England.

The Thornborough Henges are part of a larger, sacred Neolithic landscape which was used for over a thousand years. The Henges were built over a pre-existing Cursus, which is no longer visible above ground. The Henges all have circumferences of 732 megalithic yards (366 x 2), and the distance between the centres of the three Henges is 366m and 360m.
