The henge monument south-south-west of Sinderby in Yorkshire is a Neolithic or early Bronze Age ceremonial earthwork of regional significance. It comprises a circular or oval bank-and-ditch structure typical of henge monuments, which served as gathering places and ritual centres for prehistoric communities. The monument's exact dimensions and state of preservation reflect the later agricultural use of the Yorkshire landscape, though its original form would have commanded considerable labour and communal effort to construct. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to understanding the distribution and character of ceremonial sites across northern England during the third and second millennia BC.
