Hmmm. So, three henges, roughly aligned.

Sounds more and more like Thornborough really *was* the 'Stonehenge of the North'!

We seem to find more but know less every year. No sooner do ideas begin to formulate then it changes yet again!

So what's your other henge though? I thought the posts under the car park were just posts, not a circle. Is that misreporting again on the link or am I misunderstanding?

And where's this new one been found?
I want grid references :)

And considering the links with the Orkney circles it lends credence to there having been three at Brodgar too [suggested for the Watch Stone area - then again there's the mysterious Ring of Bookan as rank outsider]
