Mayburgh Henge
The entrance to Mayburgh Henge, Eamont Bridge, Penrith, Cumbria.
Mayburgh Henge dates back to the Neolithic Period from 5000 to 2500 BC). A single bank comprising stones from the River Eamont surrounds a large round interior, in the centre of which stands the single surviving monolith. Old drawings suggest there were once two groups of four stones. This may have been a meeting place and trade centre for stone axes from the Langdale Neolithic axe factory.
