We had a look at one north of Welshpool while doing Offa's Dyke Path last summer, which may have been "hengiform" (ditch on the inside). Sadly not much to look at on site. I added it as a "enclosure", to be cautious!

The typology of henges and hegiforms is even worse than barrows or at least it was a few years ago it seems to be calming down a bit .

It doesn't help that anyone at any time in history could produce a circular feature, whereas "henge" is firmly rooted on the Neolithic. So a circular feature with an internal ditch may be hengiform, but that doesn't necessarily make it a henge (I think). :o/
