Henge 500m north west of Bush Wood is a Neolithic ceremonial monument located in Hertfordshire. The site consists of a circular earthwork formed by a bank and ditch, characteristic of henges constructed during the later Neolithic period. Such monuments typically served ritual and communal functions within prehistoric societies, though the specific purposes of this particular example remain subject to archaeological interpretation. The monument's survival as an earthwork has enabled its identification and scheduling as a site of national importance to understanding Neolithic ceremonial practice in southern England.
