Mayburgh Henge, Prehistoric henge in Eamont Bridge, England
The circular earthwork features a massive bank constructed from river cobbles, rising 6.5 meters high and measuring 50 meters across its base.
Built between 2000 and 1000 BCE, the henge contained four central standing stones and four entrance stones during the 18th century, with only one remaining today.
The henge forms part of a network of Neolithic monuments near Penrith, including King Arthur's Round Table, reflecting ancient ceremonial practices.
Located 1.5 miles south of Penrith off the A6 road, the site offers free access during daylight hours with parking available in Eamont Bridge.
The structure contains approximately 20,000 tons of stones and aligns with the rising equinoctial sun through its eastern entrance.
