Henge, located approximately 550 metres south-east of Tone Hall in Northumberland, is a Neolithic ceremonial monument consisting of an earthwork bank and ditch formation. The site represents an important example of ritual architecture from the Neolithic period, a time when such henges served as focal points for communal gatherings and ceremonial activities across prehistoric Britain. The monument's physical remains comprise an approximately circular or oval earthwork, typical of the henge form characteristic of the later Neolithic and early Bronze Age transitions. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual practices in northern England during the Neolithic period.
