Arminghall is a Neolithic henge monument located near Norwich in Norfolk, England. The site was discovered through aerial photography in the 1920s, which revealed a distinctive circular earthwork consisting of a ditch with internal bank and a series of post holes indicating the former presence of wooden posts arranged in a circle. Radiocarbon dating places the monument to around 3000 BCE, making it one of East Anglia's earliest henges and an important example of early Neolithic ceremonial architecture. The discovery by air photography demonstrated the value of this archaeological technique for identifying otherwise inconspicuous earthworks and contributed significantly to understanding the distribution and development of henge monuments in prehistoric Britain.
