Sadly the henge only survives as a cropmark now-a-days... Once some 80m in diameter the earthwork had entrances to the NW and SE.

All is not lost though the Round Hill barrow that sat within the centre of the henge is still going strong, a huge thing... over 30m in diameter and a little over 3m in height.

Neither henge nor barrow have been excavated.
