Coupland henge is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ceremonial monument situated in Northumberland, consisting of a circular earthwork with associated ditch. The site comprises a henge structure accompanied by a section of droveway, elements which together suggest its use within a wider landscape of pastoral and ritual activity during prehistory. The monument's earthwork form represents the characteristic design of henge construction from the later Neolithic through Bronze Age periods, when such ceremonial enclosures served significant communal functions. The survival of the adjacent droveway indicates the site's integration into broader patterns of land use and animal management in prehistoric Northumberland.
