Priddy Henges?

Its a shame we don't have more photos on this site of Priddy Circles and Drove Cottage/Hunters lodge, Lewis did a resistivity survey on the Hunters lodge, there were two central pits as well, and the causeway/entrance went "through external ditch, bank and internal ditch, ending at the central ditched enclosure." There is a useful practical function about these banked places, as the causewayed enclosures next to Silbury show.. a feasting place maybe, with later bronze age barrow..

Well, I may get the chance to pop up again this w/e. Need to find out who to ask to visit the Priddy Circles. Last time I was up that way I was distracted by Pool Farm Cist.

I got to Hunters Lodge and Gorsey Bigbury today. Both small, compact little beggars. Pictures when I get a chance this week. Bigger ditchs, smaller centre and a causeway seems to be the only difference to the modern observer between these and disk barrows...
