The lesser known henge



Woodhenge is another Neolithic and Bronze Age monument located on the Salisbury plain within just a few miles from Stonghenge. As it is substantially less dramatic and basically just a model it is often overlooked. The concept is the same only rather then large stones it was made of wood. Wood does not last through the ages so the only thing left were the postholes. These are filled with small cement markers that are painted to show which posthole belongs to which concentric circle. The larger red one is the middle.
