Woodhenge
Timber Circle
SU 151 434

If you continue from Stonehenge towards Amesbury for a couple of miles you will come to a roundabout. Turn left here on the A345 to Marlborough and after almost a mile at the top of a hill there is a sign to Woodhenge where there is a small carpark.

This is an early Bronze Age site that originally consisted of 6 concentric rings of timber posts. It is now marked with concrete pillars representing the width of the timbers posts. The site was surrounded by a henge and had a couseway entrance to the NE marked by entrance pillars.

The site overlooks the huge henge known as Durrington Walls to the north. The shape of the henge is marked on the OS map and sections can still be seen.
