Catholme Ceremonial Complex

Also known as: Catholme Neolithic Complex, Timber circle, hengi-form monument and part of a pit alignment at Catholme

The Catholme ceremonial complex is an archaeological site of the Neolithic period in Staffordshire, England, near Barton-under-Needwood [1]. The site is near the River Trent to the east [1]. The features are not visible at ground level, but are visible as cropmarks seen in aerial photographs [1]. The site was investigated by Birmingham Archaeology from 2002 to 2004, involving a geophysical survey, Lidar and excavation [1]. The sequence in which the features were built has been suggested [1].
