Marden Henge, Neolithic henge monument in Marden, England
The circular earthwork includes a bank and internal ditch measuring 530 meters in width and covering 14 hectares in the Vale of Pewsey.
The monument dates back 4,500 years and contained the Hatfield Barrow, which collapsed after William Cunnington's excavation in the early nineteenth century.
Archaeological excavations revealed a preserved Neolithic building with evidence of pig feasts and ceremonial activities near a stone structure made from chalk blocks.
The English Heritage maintains the site, and visitors can learn about its discoveries through exhibits at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes.
Research indicates this monument stands as Britain's largest henge, positioned between Stonehenge and Avebury along the River Avon.
