Castle Dykes Henge is a Class I Neolithic henge earthwork in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England, situated between the villages of Aysgarth and Thornton Rust [1]. It consists of a roughly circular bank approximately 87 yards (80 m) in diameter with an internal ditch [1]. It is reported that excavation work took place in 1908, though there is little physical evidence of this as the henge appears to be mostly intact [1].
