The henge monument located 850 metres south-south-west of Sinderby in Yorkshire is a Neolithic earthwork comprising a circular or near-circular bank and internal ditch, a characteristic form of ritual monument constructed during the third millennium BC. The site represents an important example of henge architecture in the Yorkshire region, belonging to a broader class of ceremonial enclosures that served functions connected to gatherings, ritual practices, and community assembly during the Neolithic period.
