| Is it a henge, though? Or just a circular ditch? http://www.canterburytrust.co.uk/news/projectdiaries/new_meads/ "In February this year excavation commenced. It soon became clear that the ring-ditch identified on the aerial photograph was in fact the large circular enclosure ditch of a henge." Yet a few lines further on... "...the site had been quarried for brickearth in the past leading to the truncation of the archaeological features. As a result any evidence for a bank external to the ditch, a characteristic of henge monuments, had been lost. " So. No evidence of an external bank. It must be a ring-ditch then. It says that the brick-earth quarrying did away with the bank, but without the evidence, surely that's just supposition? Awful roads.
