Henge 70m north east of Cross Cottages is a Neolithic earthwork monument located in Essex, England. The site consists of a circular or roughly circular ditch with an internal bank, characteristic of the henge class of prehistoric ceremonial monuments that date from the Neolithic period, typically between 3000 and 2000 BCE. Though modest in scale compared to more celebrated henge complexes, such monuments served ritual and communal functions for early agricultural societies in Britain. The earthwork survives as an upstanding or partially upstanding archaeological feature and remains designated for its significance as evidence of Neolithic ritual practice in the Essex landscape.
