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. The monument's surviving earthworks, though subject to erosion and agricultural use over millennia, remain sufficient to define its original plan and construction intent. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site contributes to understanding the ritual landscape and social organisation of Neolithic Yorkshire communities.
