The Bull Ring, Neolithic henge in Dove Holes, England
The Bull Ring features a circular earthwork structure with a central platform measuring 53 by 46 meters, enclosed by a substantial ditch and bank system.
Built during the late Neolithic period, this Class II henge contained a standing stone in 1789, suggesting the previous existence of a stone circle at the location.
Multiple excavations at the site between 1902 and 1984 uncovered pottery fragments and flint tools, indicating regular human activity in prehistoric times.
The monument stands behind a church and school in Dove Holes, with access available through designated pathways leading to the archaeological site.
The structure includes two distinct entrances with causeways spanning nine meters in width, positioned precisely at the northern and southern points of the circular formation.
