Henge 220m ESE of Herring's House is a Neolithic ceremonial monument located in Cambridgeshire. The site consists of a circular or oval earthwork with an internal ditch and external bank, characteristic of henges constructed during the later Neolithic period, roughly 3000–2500 BCE. Such monuments typically served ritual or communal functions, though the specific purposes of individual henges remain subjects of archaeological investigation. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England, indicating its recognised archaeological importance as evidence of Neolithic ceremonial practice in the East Anglian landscape.
