Knowlton Circles

Knowlton Circles (also known as Knowlton Henges or Knowlton Rings) are a complex of henges and earthworks in Knowlton, Dorset [1]. The henge enclosing Knowlton Church is the best known and best preserved, but there are at least two other henges in the vicinity as well as numerous round barrows [1]. The Knowlton Circles are a cluster of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments near Knowlton [1]. There are four enclosures, three are of normal henge form, Church Henge, Knowlton North and Knowlton South, and the fourth is a squarish enclosure known as Old Churchyard [1]. Great Barrow is a large round barrow of probable Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date [1]. It is east of Church Henge [1]. It is the largest barrow in Dorset [1].
