Thornborough Henge Central Henge View all content for Thornborough Henge Central

This is a beast of a henge, it's huge! There is no obvious access so we had to bust-in over the gate and then Wow! How many folk would this place hold? and jesus! why did they need three of 'em. Although the bank is quite broken down in places you still get the feeling that this place is a monster. If all three henges are contemporary with each other the amount of work put in is immense, there must have been some serious stuff going on here back in the day. My theory, for what its worth. If you are journeying up to the axe country from the South and East you will hit this place. The central henge could be the mart where animals are traded for the precious axes. It just looks too big for people. A neolithic N.E.C. The site is also central to people from the Dales, the Vale of York and the Tabular hill peoples. Three sets of folk, three henges ????
