Newton Kyme Henge (Site)

Henge

Miscellaneous

This henge is apparently of the Thornborough type and may therefore be an extension of the Swale - Ure plateau group.

It was completely destroyed in the late first century AD when the Roman's built a fort over it - together with Catterick these henges also add weight to Julian Cope's theory about the Romans trashing the prehistoric ancient sites.
