Henge monument 500m north west of Low Barn is a Neolithic ceremonial earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a circular or near-circular bank and ditch configuration typical of henge structures dating to the Neolithic period, roughly 3000–2000 BC. Such henges served ritual and communal purposes for prehistoric populations, though the precise function of this particular example remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork reflects its significance within the prehistoric landscape, though detailed recording of its current physical dimensions and condition would require site-specific archaeological documentation.
