Ballingowan Henge

close
more_vert

Probably nowt to do with owt but I once discovered an unrecorded single entrance henge in Mallerstang. It was on the valley floor close to the River Ure. The Ground was pretty waterlogged, the platform was extremely circular, the ditch was waterlogged and had a slight raised bank on the outside. The henge measured about 25 feet across.
As you can imagine I got quite excited about the whole thing, lots of running around, sketching and pacing. It wasn't until I stood back and had a good look at the landscape that I realised that what I'd actually discovered was an ox bow. The sheep got to hear a few words that you don't hear in church..
