Coneybury Henge

Coneybury Henge is a henge which is part of the Stonehenge Landscape in Wiltshire, England [1]. The henge, which has been almost completely flattened, was only discovered in the 20th century [1]. Geophysical surveys and excavation have uncovered many of its features, which include a northeast entrance, an internal circle of postholes, and fragments of bone and pottery [1]. Coneybury Henge is around 1.4 kilometres east-by-southeast of Stonehenge, which can be seen from the site [1]. The site was first noted from the air in the 1920s and thought to be a disc barrow [1]. Later aerial photographs gave strong indications it was a Class I henge [1]. The photographs show an oval ditch, around 45 metres by 55 metres in diameter [1]. The henge was excavated in 1980 as part of the Stonehenge Environs Project [1].
