Mount Pleasant henge, Neolithic henge in West Stafford, England.
The Mount Pleasant henge features a circular enclosure with earth banks, ditches, and timber palisades covering an area equal to nine football fields.
Built between 2878 and 2470 BC, the site contains concentric rings of postholes, indicating a complex wooden structure erected during the late Neolithic period.
The site represents a gathering place where Stone Age communities performed ceremonies and participated in social activities during the final phase of Neolithic Britain.
Visitors can access the archaeological remains through marked pathways, with informational panels explaining the structural elements and excavation findings from the 1970s.
The enclosure required approximately 1600 oak timbers for its palisade construction, featuring two narrow entrances measuring only three feet in width.
