English Heritage | Postcard from Thornborough Henges, North Yorkshire | England Drone Video @EnglishHeritage | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
Part of a Neolithic complex in North Yorkshire described as “the Stonehenge of the North”, the Thornborough Henges consist of three giant, circular earthworks each more than 100m in diameter. Dating from 3500 to 2500 BC, the henges are of outstanding national significance. The earthworks are thought to have been part of a 'ritual landscape', comparable with Salisbury Plain in south-west England, and are probably the most important single ancient site between Stonehenge and the Orkney Islands in Scotland.
