Where Is Woodhenge?

Woodhenge is a Neolithic Class I henge and timber circle tombstone that is situated to the North of Amesbury in Wiltshire, England. It lies very close to Amesbury after Stonehenge. It was discovered in 1922 by Alexander Keiller and OGS Crawford when they were conducting an aerial archaeology survey. However, they credit this identification, to a photograph taken by Gilbert Stuart Martin Insall in 1925.

The stoneware from the quarry was acknowledged as being reliable with the grooved ware style, something very similar to the middle Neolithic. Some sources claim that the structure could have been built during the Beaker period. Since, the people then used pottery from both modern as well as Neolithic period.

Nearly all the 168 post holes are wooden posts, although there are facts of a couple of standing stones having been positioned amid the second and third post whole rings. The holes are measure to be around 2m deep and the height was approximately 7.5m above the ground.
