The 100 m diameter enclosure itself contained a variety of human remains in its ditch including those of a two or three year old child beneath a sandstone slab and a newborn baby crushed in the terminal of a ditch segment. A young man had been buried in the centre of the site beneath a Sarsen megalith. Carbon Dating of the remains put the building of the enclosure at around 3486-2886 cal BC with the central burial dating to around a thousand years later. It may have been connected with other nearby Neolithic sites such as Maumbury Rings and Mount Pleasant Henge . |
